Zack Brown leads Cats to 5-0 win over Tennessee DEREK TERRY sports@kykernel.com

Desperately needing a win to keep its SEC Tournament hopes alive, UK turned to right-hander Zack Brown to stop the bleeding. The sophomore starter responded with 7.1 scoreless innings on the mound, allowing five hits and striking out four against Tennessee, helping the Cats collect a 5-0 series-opening win. “My last two starts had been pretty rough,” Brown said. “I needed to come out and get a good start on Thursday night to get the team up 1-0 (in the series).” The win gave UK (20-16, 6-9 SEC) just its second victory in its last eight games. Brown previously allowed five runs in six innings in his last start against Arkansas and five runs in seven innings in the start prior. But despite Brown’s rough outings, head coach Gary Henderson said he knew the junior had a start in him like Thursday’s. “I know he’s capable,” Henderson said.

“I think more importantly, though, that he knows he’s capable. I thought he did a really good job of keeping his poise and getting out of some jams.” One of those jams came in the seventh

inning when Tennessee had runners at first and second. On the next batter, Brown broke off the mound to collect a slow roller and made a barehanded play to get the runner out at first. “I slipped a little bit and couldn’t get my spikes in the (dirt). Once I threw it, I was like, ‘It better get there, cause otherwise two

runners will score,’” Brown said. “I’m glad it made it to Evan (White) at first.” Logan Salow retired every batter he faced after coming in to relieve Brown in the eighth, striking out the side in the top of the ninth to close out the win for the Cats. Henderson said Salow’s night was big for his confidence moving forward. “He’s kind of back to late last season’s form, and he’ll continue to be good,” Henderson said. “The ninth was great, but I thought more important was the eighth. To be able to come in and shut that down was big.” Junior Kyle Barrett led the Cats’ offense with three runs scored and one run batted in. “That was a huge win for us. We needed that one,” Barrett said. “It’s always good to get the first win under your belt. Brown came out today and did what he did and competed. He gave us the best outing he could possibly give us and we got some run support for him.” The Cats will go with right-hander Dustin Beggs on Friday to try and get the series win. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.

A Jan. 25 fight involving football players from UK and Eastern Kentucky has resulted in the suspension of multiple EKU student-athletes, via a released statement from EKU Athletics Director Steve Lochmueller. Lochmueller stated in the release that the suspended players’ future with the university will be determined pending the decision by personnel within the school’s Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. “The legal process has run its course and the Eastern Kentucky University Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities is following its prescribed procedure in dealing with the events involving our student-athletes,” Lochmueller said in the statement. “We hold all of our EKU students to very high standards and those who violate these codes of conduct are held accountable. This type of behavior will not be tolerated.” The names of the players were not released in the statement, nor was the number of players suspended. However, the Richmond police recently released a report to the Lexington Herald-Leader indicating that EKU sophomore center Colton Scurry was the “primary aggressor” of a fight at Jerzees Cocktail Lounge & Comedy Club involving UK players Drew Barker, Dorian Baker and Tymere Dubose. Included in the report was security footage from Jerzees showing the incident between Scurry and the UK players. Scurry appears to throw a punch at one of the players, and is then escorted away from the incident by several people. Scurry later re-approaches the players and engages in a fisticuff with them. Scurry suffered several facial fractures as a result of the fight. Another video was also released in the report, showing Barker getting sucker-punched by EKU defensive tackle Patrick Graffree at Telford Hall, a student-residence building on EKU’s campus, after the initial bar fight took place. In the video, Graffree enters the building, takes his shirt off and hits Barker in the face, knocking him out for a few seconds. Graffree later walks off camera and Barker is escorted out of the building. Graffree was once a redshirt freshman on UK’s roster as part of former-UK head coach Joker Phillips’ final recruiting class. Graffree transferred to EKU in August 2013. No player involved in either incident was indicted by a grand jury. 4.17.15 | Kentucky Kernel | 3

Blaze damages East Maxwell home CHEYENE MILLER news@kykernel.com

One person was transported to UK Chandler Hospital for burn injuries after a house fire on the 400 block of East Maxwell Street on Thursday morning. The severity of the injuries is unknown. Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the blaze, but the Lexington Herald-Leader reported that the fire was caused accidentally. Firefighters from the Lexington Fire Department knocked down the fire 11 minutes after the dispatch had been made. The call came at 9:35 a.m. from an area

heavily populated by UK students, though it is currently unknown whether or not students occupied the apartment. “They had a structure fire that basically was contained mostly on the first floor,” said Lexington Fire Lt. Shannon Isom. Isom said the responding firefighters had the fire under control by 9:46 a.m. The damage to the unit was extensive, but was mostly contained. “They pretty much had a quick knockdown on it,” said Isom, who explained that a fire knock-down means that the major flames have been extinguished. “That means you’ve taken out the majority of the fire. They may have small flames here or there that they’re still searching for.”

OUTsource to host annual drag show NEWS

GAYla pride celebration to be “bigger, better and gayer” than ever BRENNAN FIELDER news@kykernel.com

UK OUTsource will host the eighth annual GAYla, the organization’s biggest event of the year, in the Grand Ballroom of the Student Center at 7 p.m. on Saturday. The event will consist of a drag show highlighting student and national drag performers

and a silent auction. UK will cater the event. “This year, GAYla is going to be bigger, better and gayer,” Michael Frazier, the chairman for OUTsource, said. In an attempt to fundraise for OUTsource and the community, the admission price for students is a canned good item, which will be donated to Big Blue Pantry.

CNN visits campus KELCI WEBB news@kykernel.com

Pamela Brown, a justice correspondent for CNN, discussed the importance of persistence in journalism at the annual Joe Creason Lecture in Whitehall Classroom Building on Thursday. “It is such a pleasure to be back home in my hometown of Lexington,” Brown said. “I want to thank Beth (Barnes, the director of the School of Journalism and Telecommunications), who organized all of this and brought me in to speak with you all.” Brown was made an anchor on CNN at

age 23. The change happened after her previous show was canceled without a clear reason. “I really thought that I had failed,” Brown said. She began writing stories and asking her boss to check her work, in order to improve. “Two years later, that same boss that took away my show ... promoted me to weekly night anchor,” Brown said.

When Brown was first out of college and reporting for WJLA in Washington D.C., she worked long hours, which she felt hurt the balance between work and the rest of her life. “It was sort of a slap in the face when everyone else was drinking and partying and I would have to be in bed by 6. It was social suicide,” Brown said. “As hard as it was to sacrifice my 20s, I know that is what really built the foundation for my career today.” Brown said that in any career path, but especially journalism, success comes from working harder than those who want the same opportunities given to them. “I know that I didn’t get the opportunities that I have gotten because I was more savvy or way more experienced. I truly believe that I got to where I am because of pure persistence,” Brown said. “I never would have thought that I would end up on CNN, getting to talk about breaking news with Anderson Cooper.” She also advised journalism students to try to prove themselves and ask to be part of big stories. “It is okay to cross that red line of persistence and be annoying every now and then,” Brown said. Going on the air, Brown said, is a very small part of what she does. Her job is meeting sources for coffee or dinner, and cultivating the relationships that will lead her to breaking news stories. “It takes so much preparation,” Brown said. “The key to success is being prepared. It’s a full-time job.”

why we love ourselves,” Frazier said. “It’s not about being LGBTQ, it’s about being holistic and celebrating yourself.” UK’s Bridgin’ Da Gapz Cru, a Korean pop cover group, will also perform a dance routine at the event. “We don’t know what’s more exciting, the dance routine or the costumes we are wearing,” said Kassie Davidson, an international studies junior and member of the BDG K-Pop

group. GAYla is open to everyone, not just members of LGBTQ organizations. Frazier said that 2015 will be the first year in which the event is held in the Grand Ballroom, as it sold out completely in 2014. GAYla is the last event in Pride Week and will last until 9 p.m. All benefits received from GAYla will go toward future programming and events.
