No. 18 Kentucky baseball (22-3) kicked off its third SEC series of the season with a seventh inning run rule victory against Mizzou (19-6), beating the Tigers 12-2 with overcast skies at Kentucky Proud Park.

In its last matchup, Kentucky faced Western Kentucky on Tuesday, squeaking by with a narrow 10-8 comeback victory.

Contrary to their previous performance, the Wildcats came out swinging early and kept their opponent against the ropes.

On the mound for Kentucky Darren Williams made his second start of the season while the Tigers elected Austin Troesser as starter.
