A late inning rally and a strong bullpen performance propelled No. 3 Kentucky baseball (32-5, 15-1 SEC) to a 5-3 game one victory over No. 4 Tennessee (31-7, 10-6 SEC).

The Bat Cats took game one in front of a crowd of 6,922 fans, breaking the record for the biggest crowd in Kentucky baseball history.

“It’s just an awesome feeling playing behind these people who love us and we love them,” Nolan McCarthy said.
