Kentucky drops their season finale to Arkansas in a wild game

The Kentucky Wildcats baseball team struggled against SEC competition all season, and it has left them on the postseason bubble. They picked up an important 13th conference win against Arkansas on Thursday , but wanted to close the season out strong. Unfortunately, in what would be one of the wildest games of the season, the Wildcats came up a bit short, losing their regular season finale 16-12 to the Razorbacks.

Things got crazy right away. Arkansas scored nine runs before Kentucky was able to record the first out of the game. They'd score 10 in the inning in total and lead 11-0 in the third.

The Cats would bounce back, though, with a big inning of their own. A Carson Hansen grand slam was part of a nine-run fifth inning for Kentucky, and that tied the game at 12. The Kentucky bullpen couldn't hold up, however.

Arkansas scored two in the sixth, and two more in the ninth to wrap it up. Hansen had two hits and four RBIs in the game. Jayce Tharnish and Tyler Bell each had three hits, and Tharnish drove in three as well.
