**********************************************************************

Tough way for the baseball team to end the season last night. Rallied twice to tie the game against Vandy and then lose in the bottom of the 10th on a misfielded bunt.
Still, a good year for UofL baseball and plenty of returning players next year should give Dan McDonnell another Big East title contending team.

The "batter interference" call hardly ever gets called in baseball anymore..but it cost the Cards a great scoring opportunity late in last night's game. A terrible decision by the home plate umpire...the throw was high, not in time and the batter did nothing to impede the Vandy catcher's attempt to throw out the runner attempting to steal second.
