LEXINGTON, Ky. - Ninth-seeded Kentucky saw a late rally fall just short in Sunday's regional Friday at John Cropp Stadium in front of a season-high 1,808 fans, dropping a 5-3 decision to the Utah Utes, who advance out of the Lexington Regional and into the Tallahassee Super Regional next weekend in the Sunshine State.
With the loss, Kentucky's historic season comes to an end with a 46-14 overall record on the season and a program-record second-place finish in the Southeastern Conference. The Wildcats beat 11 ranked teams in 2016 and had the most road wins of anyone in the nation, with a 20-3 record away from home.
