Kentucky baseball (24-9, 6-7 SEC) dropped game one of the weekend series 12-5 to the No. 15 Auburn Tigers (23-10, 7-6 SEC). Friday night’s pitcher Jaxon Jelkin was rolled out once again to begin the weekend, however, he suffered his worst outing of the year. He only went two innings, giving up eight runs across the plate on seven hits with an early first inning ambush from the Tigers, surrendering six runs in the first two innings.

Kentucky track and field shone brightly in Austin, Texas, during the Texas Relays with multiple event wins, consistently remaining strongest in the women’s hurdles. Emmi Scales led the pack, landing herself in 11th place in the women’s 400-meter hurdles on her first day of the event, then winning both 100-meter races the following two days. The junior has stacked on breakthrough races the entire season, and continues to do so with just three events left in the regular season.
