Russellville graduate heads to Omaha

Russellville High School graduate Ben Slack plays an important role behind the scenes for the Kentucky baseball. The Assistant SID helps manage the team’s social media, game notes, press releases and more – all while Kentucky is making history on the field.

Valedictorian of his high school class, Slack grew up with a love of sports and stats. When UK athletics came calling during his senior year at Kentucky, he was already prepared for the job.
