For the second straight night, No. 9 Vanderbilt beat Kentucky in heartbreaking fashion earlier tonight in Nashville.
Vandy smacked a home run in the bottom of the 9th inning to beat the Wildcats 9-8 tonight, just minutes after Kentucky took an 8-7 lead in the top of the inning.
Kentucky now is 29-22 overall and 13-16 in the Southeastern Conference. The Cats are likely in a good position for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, but it’s certainly not a lock if they get swept by the Commodores.
Here is a recap from UK Athletics:
NASHVILLE – For the second straight night and third consecutive game overall at Hawkins Field, Kentucky was walked off by Vanderbilt, this time 9-8 after a rousing ninth-inning rally that saw the Wildcats take another lead into the bottom of the ninth.
