Following a cancellation of a scheduled series against Mercer on March 6 – 8, Kentucky has added a three-game series at Kentucky Proud Park against The Citadel for the same weekend, a source told Bat Cats Central. A contract was finalized between the programs on Thursday.
Mercer initiated the cancellation of the original series, according to a source.
The Citadel, based out of Charleston, South Carolina, plays in the Southern Conference. The Bulldogs went 31-26 overall and 12-9 in the SoCon in 2025 and finished with an RPI of 101. They are coached by Russell Triplett.
The 2025 season was a big improvement for The Citadel. In 2024, the program went just 3-18 in the SoCon and 21-32 overall in the first season under Triplett.
