GARY, Ind. -- Behind winning starting pitcher Corey Littrell and Alex Phillips, who picked up his eighth save, Kentucky once again staved off elimination with a 6-3 win over Purdue.
Littrell (9-2) pitched 7.1 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out seven. He rebounded from a rocky two-run first to settle in and provide crucial innings for his team. His offense overcame the early 2-0 deficit with a four-run fourth inning, during which Cameron Flynn had a two-RBI single and Zac Zellers a run-scoring double.
UK advanced to another game against Kent State with the victory, which set a single-season school record for victories. The two teams will match up at 8 p.m. ET.
Below Littrell and head coach Gary Henderson talk about the win and the rematch with the Golden Flashes:
