The Wright State baseball team fell behind #16 Kentucky early and could not recover as the Wildcats posted a 9-1 win over the Raiders Tuesday afternoon at Cliff Hagen Field in Lexington.

Kentucky (17-0), the only undefeated team remaining in Division I this season, sored all of its runs over the first four innings.  WSU tallied its lone run in the sixth as freshman pinch-hitter Cody Simon hit his first collegiate home run to left.
