Bat Cats use bullpen for St. John's shutout By Ryan Hoots Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com Lexington, KY - Kentucky did not overpower St. Johns on Saturday. Kentucky outlasted them. This was not one of those games where Kentucky walked to the mound and dictated to St. John's what to do from the start. This was a game that required Kentucky to stay calm and composed. St. John's had runners on base early and often. Applying the kind of pressure forces a team to show what they are really made of when things aren't going their way. Kentucky never surrendered St. John's the hit that would have swung the game. Ben Cleaver had a tough time in a couple of innings but he worked around the runners on base and did not give St. John's any room to capitalize on his control issues. It was not easy for "The Slim Reaper" on Saturday. It was not smooth either. However, Cleaver was stubborn and that is what Kentucky needed. Sometimes being stubborn is more important than being perfect during a long baseball season. Sometimes that is what it takes to win.
