Kentucky survives elimination with shutout win over West Virginia in NCAA baseball regional.
Kentucky baseball bounces back from a disappointing loss to Indiana with a 10-0 win over West Virginia in the NCAA Tournament. Austin Strickland throws a career-high 100 pitches over six innings, allowing no earned runs while striking out six batters. Kentucky advances to the Regional Final against Indiana, needing a win to force a winner-take-all game on Monday. The offense springs to life with a Regional-best nine hits and 10 runs, including a two-run homer by Nolan McCarthy. A controversial call wipes a run off the board for Kentucky, but they add on four more runs down the stretch to secure the shutout victory.
