BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – During his Team Kentucky update Thursday, Governor Andy Beshear addressed the recent storms seen across the commonwealth.

Beshear confirmed as of now there are no reported deaths due to the weather, and only a few injuries, including a family in Ballard County hurt by flying debris.

However, with the flooding risk still there, the governor says that while everyone is currently safe, the goal now is to STAY safe.

“The February flooding that we really just got through showed us that especially when we have this much rain, it’s the decisions about when to get out, about what to drive through, when to go stay with someone else. That can be the difference between life and death, so over these next couple of days, make good decisions about turning around that car and not driving through water,” Beshear says.

Beshear also thanked the state of Vermont for their assistance in helping clean up, as well as Kentucky Emergency Management.

The Wildcats are back in Lexington after a series win over Texas A&M for an SEC showdown against Coach Mike Bianco and the No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels. The series kicks off Thursday at 7 PM ET at Kentucky Proud Park and will be televised nationally on the SEC Network.

Leading OffHead Coach Nick Mingione and the Wildcats traveled to College Station last weekend to face the preseason top-ranked Texas A&M Aggies. Kentucky took the final two games in the series after Texas A&M won the opener.

The Cats, who currently hold a record of 17-9 (4-5 in the SEC), scored 31 runs in the three-game series. Seven of those runs were off all three of Texas A&M’s starting pitchers, who all had an ERA under 3.00.

Kentucky Infielder Tyler Bell had an outstanding performance on the road and was named SEC Freshman of the Week. Bell brought home eight runs in the series, including three doubles, a home run, and seven RBIs.

On The RebsAs they say down in the Sip, “Don’t Let The Rebs Get Hot!” Ole Miss leads the all-time series against Kentucky 54-39. The last time the Rebels faced the Cats was in March 2025, where Kentucky, ranked No. 15 at the time, swept the series against Ole Miss at home in Oxford. Will the Rebels return the favor?

One player to watch is former Kentucky catcher Austin Fawley, who has been a standout performer for the Rebels this season. Fawley is hitting an impressive .314 with a .405 on-base percentage and .600 slugging percentage, including four doubles and two home runs in SEC play. The Rebels currently rank eighth in the country with 55 home runs.

As Keeneland’s opening weekend has already been pushed back, the Wildcats are hoping for favorable weather to allow their series to take place. If the games go ahead, fans can catch the Cats in action this weekend. Stay tuned for an exciting weekend of baseball!
