OMAHA, Neb. — Kentucky baseball’s first College World Series game is on tap Saturday afternoon, opening against North Carolina State.
UK’s players took time to celebrate the super regional sweep of Oregon State, with Game 2 lasting into the wee hours Monday. But now that the Wildcats have boots on the ground in Nebraska, the time for talking — and celebrating past victories — is over.
“We’re all just ready to get playing,” third baseman Mitchell Daly said Thursday. “This first practice knocked the jitters off for a lot of people. I think everybody was just excited to get on the field, feel the dirt, see the scenery.
“Everybody is just ready to go.”

A Kentucky (45-14) victory Saturday keeps it in the winners bracket; its next game would take place at 7 p.m. Monday. It would face the victor of Saturday’s second game: an all-SEC affair between Florida and Texas A&M. Should UK lose to N.C. State (38-21), the Wildcats will play an elimination game at 2 p.m. Monday against the loser of the Florida/Texas A&M tilt. The season is over for the loser of Monday afternoon’s game.
UK hopes Saturday’s game has the same result of its previous NCAA matchup against N.C. State: The Wildcats beat the Wolfpack in a winner-take-all game in a 2017 NCAA regional to advance to super regionals for the first time.

OMAHA — Kentucky ended its 2024 season the way it started every game this season: with hugs.
A team that built its identity around togetherness and love started every game by making a line into the dugout between pregame warmup and the first pitch. As players moved on down the line, they hugged every teammate they passed.
After Patrick Herrera flied out to center field Wednesday afternoon to end UK’s season with a 15-4 loss to Florida, the Wildcats, true to their reputation of being unflappable, kind of went about their business like normal.

Kentucky’s run in the College World Series may be over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the Cats’ historic season.
The team is scheduled to arrive back at Kentucky Proud Park at approximately 9:30 p.m. ET tonight. Fans are invited to greet them outside the VIP lobby entrance. Parking will be available in the purple lot.
Kentucky’s season ended with a 15-4 loss to Florida in its third game of the College World Series. It was a somber moment, one with plenty of tears in the dugout as the players processed the end to a special run. After consoling each other, the Cats made their way to the stands to see their families.
“My parents have been — they’re the ones who got me into baseball,” Senior right-hander Ryan Hagenow said. “They’ve been by my side the entire time. So obviously seeing them makes it pretty tough because it takes a lot of sacrifice from our families for us to be able to play at this level.
“It’s my senior year. So knowing that that was probably the last time I’ll hug them after a game got to me pretty good.”
Redshirt junior outfielder Nolan McCarthy agreed, mentioning his father specifically.
“You get to go to battle with your brothers every day on that field and they’re all feeling the same things as you. But it’s tough when you go to your parents and, I mean, they’re in the fight with you too. My dad’s as into it as anyone. He also got me into baseball.
“I can count on two hands as many games he’s missed since I’ve started playing. And the sacrifices they’ve made, it’s been unbelievable. And I love them for that. And that’s why the emotions hit so much harder when you’ve got to talk to your parents after the game.”
