Author Topic: Cats to play Kansas in Louisville on Friday catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 05-26-2014 02:40 PM                     It will help playing on a field where they have played before. The Kentucky baseball team has been selected for its eighth all-time NCAA Tournament appearance, tabbed as the No. 2 seed in the 2014 NCAA Louisville Regional, hosted by the University of Louisville, and will face off with third-seeded Kansas on Friday in the opener of the bracket at 2 p.m. ET at Jim Paterson Stadium. Kentucky (35-23) joins No. 5 Louisville (45-15), Kansas (34-24) and Kent State in the four-team field. UK will face Kansas in the opener on Friday, with Louisville slated to face Kent State later in the evening. The winners will advance to face each other in the second game of the day on Saturday, with the losers facing off in an elimination game on Saturday at Jim Paterson Stadium. The entire regional will be televised live on ESPN3.com. All of UK’s games will be broadcast live on the UK IMG Radio Network, with the Voice of UK Baseball, Neil Price, calling the action. Fans in Central Kentucky can hear the game live on WLAP 630-AM, in Louisville on WKJK 1080-AM and online at UKathletics.com. This will mark Kentucky’s eighth all-time NCAA Tournament berth and its first since a runner-up finish in the 2012 NCAA Gary Regional, hosted by Purdue. UK has a 12-14 all-time record in the NCAA Tournament, also owning runner-up finishes in 1988, 2006 and 2008. The Wildcats swept the two-game midweek series with Louisville in 2014, posting a 8-3 win in the first game in Lexington and a 4-2 win at Louisville in the finale of the two-game series. UK has never faced Kansas in program history and last faced Kent State in the 2012 NCAA Gary Regional, with KSU edging UK in the 21-inning NCAA Tournament opener and in the NCAA Tournament Regional Final. UK is 5-2 all-time vs. Kent State in program history.
