Almost too easy.

These teams will probably meet again in upcoming NCAA regional baseball action, with Kentucky coming in as No. 1 seed and Louisville as a second seed, most likely in Lexington.

Doubtful either team will be using freshman or sophomore pitchers if they make it to what would be an unbelievable showdown.

But for now, U of L owns UK in baseball, using six pitchers Tuesday while limiting the hard-hitting Wildcats to five hits in a 10-2 romp. Sophomore Chad Green (3-0) getting credit for the win. His teammate, freshman Jared Ruxer (5-1), had blanked UK in a 12-0 a couple of weeks ago.

UK still has the chance to earn the top overall seed in baseball, and the SEC could still become the first conference to earn four national seeds in a season. 

The regional is a double-elimination tournament so there’s a chance the teams could play at least two more times. The best possible scenario for U of L would be a four-game sweep for the season.
