Box Score
 
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Eastern Kentucky University baseball team could not get anything going as it fell to the University of Kentucky Wildcats by a score of 12-0 on Tuesday evening at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
 
The Colonels (3-6) threatened to get on the board in the top of the first when Ben Fisher and Brenden Overton notched singles with two outs, but a Ryland Kerr strikeout ended the inning.
 
After the Wildcats (3-5) took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first, Eastern got in position to cut into the lead in the top of the second. A fielding error allowed Logan Starnes to reach first, and he advanced to second on a Nick Howie single. Cornell Nixon walked in the next at-bat, loading the bases, but EKU could not convert any runners and left the inning scoreless.
 
UK added to its lead in the bottom of the third with a five-run inning, and added four more insurance runs in the seventh and eighth to win 12-0. Riley Mahan led the way for UK with two hits and four RBIs.
 
Fisher, Overton and Howie picked up two hits for the Colonels, all of which were singles.
 
EKU returns to action this weekend when it hosts Youngstown State. First pitch for the series opener is set for 4 p.m. on Friday.
