[B]The Kentucky baseball team spanked No. 20 LSU[/B] 9-4 this afternoon to clinch a second-consecutive SEC series over a powerful opponent.
Freshman Jordan Cooper (4-4) pitched a career-high seven innings in only his fourth career SEC start.
Kentucky (28-23, 11-15 SEC) moves one step closer to earning a spot in the NCAA national tournament with the win.

The game has been moved up from the original start time of 1 p.m. ET due to the threat of rain Sunday.
