Sophomore Greg Dombrowski tossed the second complete game of his career to lead No. 26 Kentucky to a 4-1 series-clinching victory over 12th-ranked Tennessee on Sunday at Lindsey Nelson Field.
Dombrowski scattered nine hits - all singles -- and allowed just one run while striking out six and walking two. He improved to 5-0 on the year and 7-0 in his career. However, his string of 58 1/3 innings without a walk came to an end in the sixth inning.
A native of Rome, N.Y., Dombrowski has a quality start in each of his six outings this year. He has allowed one run or fewer in four straight starts and has not allowed an extra-base hit in that span.
The streak-ending walk - while not intentional - was called for by head coach John Cohen, as Kentucky elected put Tony Delmonico on to load the bases with one out in a 3-1 game. The move worked as he induced Brian Van Kirk to ground into a 5-4-3 inning-ending double play to quell the threat.
"The walk was something we called for to set up the double play," Kentucky coach John Cohen said. "You hate to see a streak end on something like that. But the way Greg pitches, with all the groundballs he gets, its something that we felt could help us and it did."
