SEC play will continue Thursday for Kentucky and Auburn in men’s baseball action.
On Thursday night, No. 8 Kentucky will travel to Alabama to take on Auburn in the first game of the teams’ SEC series at Plainsman Park. The Tigers are currently at the bottom of the SEC West standings with a conference record of 2-10 and an overall record of 18-14 so far. The team’s most recent game was played against Alabama State on Tuesday and resulted in a 3-2 loss, the team’s third in a row. Chris Stanfield was credited with the team’s only earned run of the game with a sacrifice fly to right field in the ninth inning, but it wasn’t enough for the team to erase the two-run deficit. Zach Crotchfelt took the loss on the mound after one inning of work in which he struck out one batter.
