The UK baseball team recovered from an early deficit to beat Indiana University in 12 innings on Wednesday.

Tied at four entering the twelfth inning, the Cats scored a run on an RBI single by junior Cameron Flynn. But, the Hoosiers answered, scoring on a single to match UK and extend the game.

After a leadoff single in the twelfth, freshman Austin Cousino scored on a balk with two outs to plate the eventual winning run, as the No. 7 Cats won 5-4.

Freshman A.J. Reed pithed 5.1 innings of relief, only giving up one run on four hits with six strikeouts.

The Cats (38-11, 15-9 SEC) welcome Alabama to town this weekend for three game series. First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 7 p.m.
