No. 23 Kentucky baseball (21-2) defeated Alabama (18-6) at Sewell-Thomas Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on Saturday to clinch its first SEC road series of the season.

The victory also further extended the Wildcats’ win streak, which is the longest currently active streak in Division-1 baseball, and the team’s longest since 2012. The 5-0 start in SEC play also marked the best start to conference play since 1992 for Kentucky.
