Good morning, BBN. The Bat Cats have bought themselves another day. With an 8-6 win over N.C. State last night, Kentucky is into the Regional Final, playing N.C. State one more time tonight at 7 p.m. The winner will get a shot at Louisville in the Super Regional, as Louisville advanced past their Region last night.
