Kentucky baseball (18-2) earned its fourteenth straight victory on Sunday against Mississippi State (13-8), winning by a score of 17-3 in seven innings.

The win cemented Kentucky’s first SEC series sweep since 2021, with the team going 18 consecutive series within conference play without a sweep.

Right-hander Zack Lee, a senior from Effingham, Illinois, earned the start on the mound for the Cats, seeking to remain undefeated on the season.

The Bulldogs singled to start the game but could not come up with any runs as a diving catch from senior center fielder Jackson Gray and a strikeout from Lee quickly shut down any scoring chances.
