CINCINNATI - Xavier baseball got within one, 5-4, after the fourth inning before No. 6 Kentucky put up 15 unanswered runs to win 20-4 at Hayden Field on Tuesday. The game was called off after eight innings due to fading light and cold weather in the area.

The Musketeers dropped to 7-13 on the season, snapping a three-game win streak. The Wildcats (15-6) snapped a four-game losing streak with the win.

XU had held the Wildcats to just two runs in a 3-2, extra innings road win on Feb. 20, but it was a different story on Tuesday as UK clubbed a season-high seven homers.
