  • Cats in no need of relief

    KENTUCKY 9, MISSISSIPPI 0

    By Mark Maloney

    The Cats are in. James Paxton twirled a complete-game shutout Friday night as Kentucky blanked Mississippi 9-0 and clinched a spot in next week's Southeastern Conference tournament. The Cats almost certainly will receive an NCAA Tournament bid, too.

    NEW LEGEND HITS FIRST PRO HOMER

    By Eric Lindsey

    Just when the Lexington Legends thought it couldn't get any worse, Hagerstown pinch hitter Tim Pahuta stepped to the plate. On the first pitch, Pahuta belted a two-run bomb in the ninth inning Thursday night to give the Suns a come-from-behind 7-6 win at dreary and drizzly Applebee's Park. What appeared to be a Legends win fueled by a rare offensive outburst quickly turned into another deflating loss.

    In the spring of 2001, I happened to call a friend who then worked in Ashland. During the course of the conversation, he mentioned in passing that he had just seen the best high school basketball player in the state of Kentucky.

    Kentucky's best-ever major-league pitcher?

    By Mike Fields

    Kentucky high school baseball should be proud of itself for producing Brandon Webb, arguably the best pitcher in the major leagues today. Long before he was the ace of the Arizona Diamondbacks, he was the ace of the Ashland Blazer Tomcats.
