Nick Mingione’s Kentucky baseball program advanced in the 2023 Lexington Regional by beating the MAC champs before facing a Big Ten program.

Memorial Day has come and gone, marking the unofficial start of summer. Even though it’s the “offseason” for football and basketball, there’s still a ton happening in the world of UK sports, chiefly Kentucky Baseball’s run in the NCAA Tournament.

Right-hander Robert Hogan turned in one of the best outings of his career Friday night, holding Western Michigan scoreless over the final 3 1/3 innings to secure the 10-8 Lexington Regional opening win for Kentucky. “I guess just throwing strikes,” Hogan responded when asked what was going well for him on Friday. “That was the biggest thing, just being able to throw every pitch for a strike. That keeps the hitters off balance. And I have an unbelievable defense behind me. So it’s easy to pitch when you have guys like [Grant Smith] behind me and James [McCoy]. They’re getting the balls that not...

Good morning, friends. For most of you, today is the first day back at work after the long Memorial Day weekend. For me, it’s my second day back at work after a ten-day trip to Tuscany. I spent Monday catching up on what I missed in the world of UK sports and KSR. Today, it’s fully back into the fire as we prepare for Kentucky Baseball to start its journey to Omaha, the SEC begins its annual Spring Meetings in Destin, and I make the short trek to downtown Nashville for a very special event. If you were on the lake or at the pool all day yesterday, you missed some news. Let’s start our rundown ...
