Mitch Daly wanted to celebrate Father’s Day a few hours early by making Derrick Smith and the NC State Wolfpack his sons in Kentucky‘s first-ever College World Series appearance. At the plate with the game tied 4-4 in the bottom of the 10th, Daly ripped a breaking ball deep to left field for the game-winning home run, walking it off for the Wildcats to secure the program’s first win in Omaha. It’s a moment that cemented legendary status for Daly the second the ball came off his bat, the Texas transfer picking the perfect time for Kentucky’s first walk-off win of the season. “I was just trying ...

Kentucky will face Texas A&M in its second game of the College World Series Monday night at 6:00 p.m. CT/7:00 p.m. ET. The Cats and Aggies will matchup in the winner’s bracket, while Florida/NC State face off in the loser’s bracket.

Kentucky trailed 4-3 heading into the ninth inning of Saturday’s CWS opening matchup against NC State, but a Ryan Nicholson solo home run in the ...

Although Kentucky fell behind 4-3 in the top of the ninth inning in Saturday’s College World Series game, it never crossed their minds that they wouldn’t win the game. Ryan Nicholson tied the game in the bottom of the ninth with a solo home run, and then Mitch Daly belted a walk-off solo home run in the bottom of the 10th to clinch Kentucky’s first ever College World Series game victory. There’s something about those Cardiac Cats. “[Coach Ammirati] brought us together and he said, this is what we play for,” Mitch Daly said postgame. “Let’s have some fun. Let’s do this. The whole message throug...

Ryan Nicholson once again came up big for Kentucky on Saturday, belting a game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to send the game to extra-innings. Kentucky pulled out the 5-4 win in 10 innings, earning its first College World Series win in program history to advance to the winner’s bracket. “What a response,” Nick Mingione said postgame. “What a response. I mean, when I tell you guys in the ninth, this team has true belief. They really thought we were going to win the game.” Since the beginning of the NCAA Tournament, Nicholson has been on another level. He’s 10-23 (.435 BA) at...

Kentucky walked off NC State 5-4 in its first ever College World Series game Saturday afternoon to advance to the winner’s bracket. Quite the first impression for the Cats in Omaha. Kentucky held a 3-1 lead until the seventh inning, where NC State’s Alec Makarewicz tied the game with a two-run home run. After the Cats failed to respond, the Wolfpack scored a go-ahead run in the top of the ninth on a wild pitch. Down to its final three outs however, Ryan Nicholson belted a solo home run to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth. Mitch Daly then hit Kentucky’s biggest home run in program histor...

Right-hander Trey Pooser will start Game One of the Men’s College World Series for Kentucky on Saturday against NC State. Pooser pitched seven innings in Kentucky’s 10-0 Super Regional victory over Oregon State last weekend, allowing just one hit and no earned runs. Since his move to the Friday night starter, Pooser has blossomed into Kentucky’s “ace.” The right-hander boasts a 3.57 ERA in 63 innings pitched as a starter. Although he has been Kentucky’s most reliable starter over the last month, he said he doesn’t see himself as an ace. “I wouldn’t really say that I felt that I was an ace,” Po...

NC State players and head coach Elliott Avent took the stage at the 2024 Men’s College World Series introductory presser after Kentucky on Thursday and previewed the Cats, who they open play against on Saturday. “Yeah, they’re a very talented team; very athletic, a ton of good players, a ton of good pitchers,” said NC State right-handed pitcher Sam Highfill. “You just have to play fundamental baseball. If they’re going to try and give you outs, then you have to be able to take them and not compound mistakes because that’s what those offenses live on. We just have to do our best to make the fun...

Right-handed pitcher Robert Hogan has blossomed into one of the biggest contributors on the first ever College World Series team in Kentucky’s program history. His story and instant connection with Nick Mingione and the program was discussed during Thursday’s MCWS introductory presser. Hogan, who spent two seasons at Texas A&M, entered the Transfer Portal on June 2, 2023. He committed to Kentucky a little over three months later on September 6, and the rest is history. “The thing I remember about Robert Hogan is watching him on Synergy, and earlier in the year watching and seeing a player with...

Nick Mingione made his pitch to the city of Omaha on Thursday during Kentucky’s MCWS press conference. That pitch exactly? For the city to adopt the Cats as their own during the College World Series. “If the people of Omaha are looking for a team to root for, this is your team,” Mingione said. “This is your team! We are the first-timers, we want to have a great experience, we want to be lifted up. I’ve seen this city and I’ve seen the people of this city lift up opposing teams. I’ve watched this thing over and over. If they’re looking for a team that competes at the highest level and has an am...
