They were playing long ball yesterday in the ballpark in Houston...Louisville softball with four home runs and Temple with one as the Cards advance to the AAC semis with a 5-3 win over the Owls.
Kayla Soles two run bomb in the bottom of the sixth with Katie Keller on second was the winning hit...it was Soles' second home run of the day and her ninth of the season.

With the game knotted at 3-3 in the bottom of the sixth, Keller singled and moved to second on Taner Fowler's sacrifice bunt. That brought Soles to the plate...her shot over the fence to left barely staying fair to put Louisville ahead.
The Cards get USF today at 5 p.m. The Bulls downed Memphis yesterday. Other winners were UCF and Rutgers.
Host Houston fell to the Scarlet Knights 5-1 and UCF blanked UConn 8-0 in five innings.
The UofL game against USF is at 5 p.m. All games are being shown on the American Digital Network...over at The American website
The network provided a short clip of the Louisville v Temple highlights and it is linked below:

( Is it just me...or does the Temple pitcher look like Sara Hammond?)

Tara Lyons fired a 71 for the 18 holes. Katie Petrino carded a 73, Laura Restrepo 75, and Emily Haas and Shannon Gramley both finished at 76.
The top eight teams after 54 holes from the three regions advance to the NCAA Championships. The Cards hit it early this morning...teeing off at 7:45 a.m.

Lacrosse has accomplished some amazing things this season and Kellie Young has built the program in seven years into a force that will have to be reckoned with when they play in the ACC next season. Although senior leaders Ashley Herbst, Monica Negron and Nikki Boltja will be gone...Louisville still has a ton of talent returning.

FAYE BRUST |
Louisville (15-3) and Ohio State (13-6) met in Columbus earlier this season...the Buckeyes getting a narrow 12-11 win. It was the only time this season that Kay Morissette was bested in draw controls. Louisville led 6-2 in the first half but four consecutive OSU goals tied it after 30 minutes. Four in a row in the second half put Ohio State ahead to stay...the Cards scored the final two goals in the match but could not get the tying goal as time ran out.

They play at 8 p.m. tonight. No TV that we know of...

Touchdown Teddy goes to Minnesota |
Teddy was the last pick of the first round...which made for a late viewing night for those watching on ESPN. He was picked by the Minnesota Vikings. Louisville sending a fair share of athletes and coaches to that state lately...with Gorgui Dieng, Richard Pitino and Asia Taylor all in the land of 10,000 lakes (and 1,000,000 mosquitos).
