No. 11 Kentucky Wildcats (29-7, 10-5 Southeastern Conference) are gearing up to defend their home turf against the Texas A&M Aggies this weekend at Kentucky Proud Park. The Wildcats have had a strong season so far and are looking to maintain their perfect 6-0 home conference record. The Aggies, however, are no strangers to success at Kentucky Proud Park, boasting a 5-0 all-time record in the venue.

All three games of the weekend series will be streamed on the SEC Network+, allowing fans to watch the action from the comfort of their homes.

The Wildcats have had a solid performance in the first half of the league schedule and will play three of their final five weekends at Kentucky Proud Park. As they head into the second half of the season, they hope to continue building momentum and secure a strong position in the SEC standings.

Friday night’s game will feature Logan Martin as the starting pitcher for the Wildcats. Martin is now healthy after recovering from a non-arm issue earlier this season. In the second game of the weekend series, southpaw Tyler Bosma will take the mound, followed by Zack Lee in the final game.

The UK team currently holds the No. 1 spot in the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) and has the second-highest strength of schedule in the league. As the Wildcats face the Aggies, fans can expect an exciting and closely contested series between two teams that have proven to be formidable opponents at Kentucky Proud Park.

This weekend’s matchup will be a significant test for both teams as they vie for dominance in the SEC.
