A Late‑Inning Turnaround
Kentucky’s baseball team edged No. 14 Arkansas 4-3 on Thursday night at Kentucky Proud Park in Lexington, a result that kept the Wildcats’ conference record at 13 wins.
Freshman right‑hander Jaxon Jelkin entered in the seventh inning and shut down the Razorbacks over two frames, delivering his first career save.
The relief appearance capped a busy week for Jelkin, who had just thrown a 128‑pitch complete game five days earlier against Florida, showcasing durability and poise under pressure.
The win not only solidified Kentucky’s standing in the SEC race but also underscored the depth of the Wildcats’ pitching staff as they head into the final stretch of the season.
