Lexington: Cats In Control

By Chris Glasser - June 03, 2006

Notre Dame might've just played itself out of the game (and the tournament). On consecutive plays, Notre Dame first made an error, then a mental error, costing them three runs in the process.

With two outs and two on, pitcher Jeff Manship dropped the ball when covering first, allowing one run to score for the Cats. On the next play, with runners on the corners, Colin Cowgill pulled a ball down the left field line. With Wildcat speedster Antone DeJesus easily taking third on the play, Notre Dame left fielder Steve Andres threw to second, presumably to prevent a Cowgill double. That allowed DeJesus to hussle home, barely beating the throw with a hook slide around the Notre Dame catcher, making it 7-1 Kentucky.
