No. 19 Kentucky baseball (21-5, 5-3 SEC) got skunked 7-0 by the LSU Tigers (18-10, 3-5 SEC) in their attempt to steal the series win.

The Wildcats failed to capitalize in big situations as they went 4-for-19 with runners on base and 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position, while also leaving nine runners stranded on the base path.

Nothing was going right for the Wildcats all game as LSU starting pitcher William Schmidt silenced the bats in his 5.1 innings of work.

Unlike Friday’s win, Kentucky came up unsuccessful, digging deep into the Tigers’ bullpen.

After Schmidt’s work on the mound was done, the Tigers proceeded to use just one more pitcher in Zac Cowan, who allowed just one hit and struck out seven in his 3.2 innings of work.

Nate Harris got the Saturday call for the Wildcats to report to the pitcher’s mound, where he got jumped early in the second inning as LSU got off to a quick 2-0 lead.

The dagger for Harris came in the bottom half of the fourth after LSU launched a three-run bomb, extending the lead.

Harris eventually would be pulled in the fifth, failing to make it through five full innings, with his final stat line being 4.2 innings allowing five runs on five hits and five walks with just two strikeouts.

He passed it over to Leighton Harris, who got teed off with a two-run double in the sixth, making it 7-0 at that point in the game.

The bullpen sailed smoothly for the rest of the game, not allowing any more fuel to the fire or LSU damage.

The Tigers, however, maintained the seven-run lead for the remainder of the game as Cowan continued to sit down Wildcats one after another.

The bats, which remained silent, had some flaws as Luke Lawrence tallied two hits, now reaching base safely in 31 consecutive games.

Lawrence now builds on an active, but quiet five-game hitting streak, consistently being a force for the Wildcats as the competition builds with the month of April right around the corner.

Hudson Brown, who lost his seven-game hitting streak Friday, looks to build a new one after his eighth-inning single.

Only four other Wildcats would tally a base hit in the loss, but as a whole, they showed poor plate discipline, which is consistently praised by head coach Nick Mingione.

The Wildcats have proven to bounce back after posting a bubbly zero on the board after they lost 5-0 to Ole Miss the week prior.

Kentucky baseball, which is surrounded by many leaders, has plenty of room for improvement as it continues to represent the program at an elite level.
