After dropping a close 4-3 midweek contest at Presbyterian, the 11-2 Wofford Terriers will travel to Lexington, Kentucky, for a match-up against No. 23 Kentucky. The Wildcats are 10-1 on the season and fresh off a 16-0 triumph over Eastern Kentucky in midweek play. The teams have met five total times with UK holding a 3-2 series lead dating back to 1959. The last meeting was at Wofford in 2019 to open the season, and the then No. 8 Wildcats took a 6-1 victory. Wofford's two wins in the series came in the 1959 first meeting, 14-8 at home, and in 2016, 5-4, also in Spartanburg. This will be the first time the teams have ever faced off in Lexington. This is Wofford's first three-game series against a ranked team since 2022, which was when the Terriers took two-of-three at No. 18 Dallas Baptist. That was also Wofford's last win over a ranked opponent.

Nothing for Free
While drawing plenty of walks at the dish, Wofford does not issue many on the mound., and this has been a consistent trend for several seasons now. Terrier pitchers allowed the fourth-fewest walks per nine innings in the country in 2022 at just 2.79. This lifted the club's K/BB ratio to 3.18, eighth-best in the nation. In 2023, the Terriers only issued 138 free passes. At a rate of 2.38 per nine innings, Wofford owned the lowest walk rate in the country. This aided in the country's 25th-best WHIP at 1.36. With a K/BB ratio of 3.43, the Terriers were third in the NCAA. Last season, Wofford owned a K/BB ratio of 2.47, best in the SoCon and 25th in the nation. The Terriers had a walks per nine clip of 3.38, best in the conference and 14th nationally. This season, Wofford has issued just 38 walks compared to 123 strikeouts hurled. This comes out to a 3.03 walks per nine innings rate, best in the SoCon and 14th in the country. No Terrier hurler has issued more than six total walks this season with 11 of the 16 to pitch so far owning two or less. Wofford's lack of free passes issued aids in a 3.24 strikeout-to-walk ratio, second best in the conference and 21st in the country. The Terriers only have one game with more than four walks issued (seven against Le Moyne, 3/1). Reliever Champ Davis has paced the team with a walks per nine innings rate of 1.80, sixth best in the conference. He has issued just three free passes in 15.0 innings of work, compared to his 15 strikeouts.
 
Say Hey, Haber
Adam Haber has settled in nicely after being a JuCo transfer to Wofford last season. As a senior in 2025, Haber is hitting .385 to rank ninth in the SoCon. Haber has a good eye at the dish, striking out only twice on the season while working seven walks. With a strikeout rate of one every 19.5 at-bats, Haber ranks as the toughest player to strikeout in the conference, and he ranks 31st in the nation. The outfielder owns 15 hits with two doubles, adding nine runs, four RBI, and a perfect 3-for-3 on steals.
 
On Deck
Wofford concludes its stint of seven-straight road affairs, first with a midweek tilt at the College of Charleston on Tuesday, March 11. First pitch is slated for 4:00 p.m. The Terriers then begin a three-game weekend series against another former SoCon foe, Elon. The first two games of the series will be at Elon before game three brings the conclusion of the weekend set to Spartanburg.
