Here are some updates on some current and former University of Kentucky baseball players (release from UK):

DARNELL REACHES DOUBLE-DIGIT WINS
Former Kentucky southpaw Logan Darnell posted his 10th win of the minor league season on Saturday, going seven innings with only one run allowed in the high class A Florida State League.
Darnell, a native of Joelton, Tenn., completed his career at UK as a sixth-round pick of the Minnesota Twins in 2010. In his first full minor league season, Darnell has made 20 starts between low class A and the Florida State League, posting a 10-4 record and a 3.50 ERA. In 115.2 innings, Darnell has allowed only 107 hits and 32 walks, striking out 66 and holding opponents to a .247 average.
MAILE SPLITS UP SUMMER
Kentucky junior catcher Luke Maile has played in two different summer collegiate leagues this summer, spending time in the Cape Cod League and the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League.
Maile played in 10 games and registered 18 at bats for the Cotuit Kettleers in the CCL before venturing to the PGCBL. While playing with the Amsterdam Mohawks, Maile has hit .371 (33-for-89) with seven doubles, eight homers and 24 RBI in 25 games. The 6-foot-3 backstop has totaled a .719 slugging and a .486 on-base percentage, owning a 16-18 walk-strikeout ratio.
PHILLIPS’ WCL DOMINATION
Late in the 2011 collegiate season, UK southpaw Alex Phillips emerged as one of the top lefty relievers in the Southeastern Conference. Now after a dominating summer in the West Coast League, Phillips is poised for a strong 2012 season.
A native of Tenino, Wash., Phillips has appeared in 12 games with eight starts for the Wenatchee AppleSox. He has posted a 6-1 record and a 2.09 ERA, tossing 56 innings, allowing only six walks and 40 hits, striking out 59.
