Kentucky baseball (25-18, 10-12 SEC) was blown out by Mississippi State (27-19, 8-14 SEC) 14-4 in the first game of a doubleheader in seven innings.

The already long day of baseball got even longer as first pitch of game one was delayed by an hour due to inclement weather.

Once play got underway, both teams were held scoreless in the first inning. The Bat Cats got going in the second with back-to-back singles from Hudson Brown and Kyuss Gargett.

After a flyout, Luke Lawrence singled down the right-field line to score both runners and came in to score himself on a sacrifice bunt by Shaun Montoya that gave the Wildcats a 3-0 lead.

The home Bulldogs got on the board in the bottom of the second when Gatlin Sanders singled to bring home Bryce Chance.

After both teams were held off the board in the third, Nile Adcock took the mound in relief of Nate Harris in the fourth.

The right-hander was greeted by a leadoff double before back-to-back one-out singles slimmed the Cats’ lead to 3-2.

After a groundout, Adcock spiked a pitch that tied the game 3-3.

It looked like Adcock had limited the damage with a strikeout, but the ball trickled away from Devin Burkes, which allowed the runner to reach and another to score.

Another singled finished off the four-run inning for the Bulldogs that gave them a 5-3 lead.

The Wildcats got a run back in the fifth, but Joe Powell launched a homer on the second pitch thrown by Tommy Skelding that moved the Bulldogs lead back to two runs at 6-4.

Game one quickly got away from Kentucky in the sixth when a double and two walks loaded the bases with no outs.

Tristan Hunter came on to try and work out of the mess but gave up a single and bases-loaded walk to score two runs.

Hayden Smith came on for Hunter but had no luck keeping the Bulldogs off the board as he gave up a double and single that scored three more runs.

After a strikeout, a single brought home another run.

Following another strikeout, a double brought home the final two runs of the game and capped off an eight-run inning that inflated the Bulldogs lead to 14-4.

The Wildcats used six pitchers in the game one loss, but Harris was the only arm that went longer than one inning.

Following the loss, Kentucky and Mississippi State will play game two of its doubleheader with first pitch of game two set for approximately 7:50.
