Lexington: Monsma Out; McLaughlin In

By Chris Glasser - June 04, 2006

Charleston's Quinn Monsma came on in a tough situation in the third and got the Cougars out of it without allowing any runs. He went on to pitch three more scoreless innings, but he exited in the seventh, leaving two runners aboard with two outs.

Josh McLaughlin, who pitched 2.2 innings of scoreless ball in the 16 inning epic against Notre Dame on Friday, came in to replace him, hit the first batter he faced, but recovered to get Kentucky DH Sean Coughlin to pop out. Kentucky has stranded a season-high 11 runners.

Still 7-4 in favor of the Cougars as we enter the eighth.
