Extra-Inning Walk-Off Win for Lions
The 6-5 <Kentucky:team#7> win over <Illinois:team#74> was due largely to <Steve Puckett:player#11684>. The Lions shortstop hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. The win was credited to <Lou Best:player#6432> in relief. His record improves to 9-2. <Joel Ryan:player#2136> took the loss. Kentucky raised its record to 78-57 with the win.

The Lions procured the win, in large part because of catcher <Declan Fountain:player#1077>. In the bottom of the tenth, he produced the game-winning run-scoring  double.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Fountain told the Kentucky Observer. "It's as simple as that."
