Eastern Kentucky made the 30-minute drive to Kentucky Proud Park Tuesday afternoon and became the latest victims of the Wildcats’ winning streak.
After leading through seven, Devin Burkes nuked a two-run home run to put the ‘Cats back on top. Kentucky’s relief pitching then shut down the Colonels’ offense to help preserve a 9-3 win. The No. 23 ranked Bat ‘Cats pushed their winning streak to 15 games with the victory.
“I feel like we got off to a bit of a slow start today and I felt like we weren’t clicking,” Burkes told KSR after the game.
