The Kentucky Baseball team will travel to Texas to compete in a three-day round-robin event during non-conference play in February 2024. In the Karbach Round Rock Classic, the Wildcats will face Kansas, Texas State, and Washington State at Dell Diamond in Round Rock, Texas, home of Texas Rangers’ triple-A affiliate Round Rock Express.
It is the first neutral site early season tournament for UK since it ran roughshod through and was champion of the Shriner’s Hospitals College Classic in Houston in 2018.
