Pump It Up: Another weekend on the bubble for Kentucky baseball

Adam Luckettby: Adam Luckett05/11/26adamluckettksr

Kentucky baseball avoided the sweep over the weekend against Florida. This was a box that needed to be checked, but the Bat Cats blew a chance to take a big series win on Friday. That increases the stakes for a big week at Kentucky Proud Park.

Nick Mingione‘s squad will end the season with four consecutive home games. There will be a Quad 4 opportunity on Tuesday night against Northern Kentucky before a huge three-game series with Arkansas from Thursday-Saturday. A 2-2 week probably secures an at-large bid.

Can Kentucky get there?

Before an important 36-inning stretch begins for Kentucky baseball, Bat Cats Central’s Derek Terry is joining us again for another episode of Pump It Up. There is plenty to discuss as UK is right on the NCAA Tournament bubble heading into the final week of the regular season.

Let’s talk some baseball.
