Baseball Falls to Kentucky

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Belmont University baseball (0-5) hosted Kentucky (2-1) in the 2025 home opener at E.S. Rose Park Friday night. It was a chilly February evening – as first pitch was thrown with 34 degrees Fahrenheit showing on the thermometer – and both teams struggled to heat up the bats. A pitcher's duel to the end, Kentucky came out on top, 2-1.
