Kentucky Faces Winner-Take-All Monday Night

UK Athletics

Three outs from its third regional championship in four seasons, Kentucky saw host West Virginia mount an improbable comeback with a five-run ninth inning to claim an 11-9 victory and send the Morgantown Regional to a winner-take-all Monday night.

The Wildcats are now 33-22 overall. Monday night’s game has been scheduled for 6 p.m. ET.

In yet another instant classic between the flagship schools of neighboring states, where four tournament meetings the past two seasons have been decided by one or two runs, the Mountaineers capped the four-hour affair with a ninth that sent Kendrick Family Ballpark into pandemonium.
