Lexington: This Ain't Hockey!
By Chris Glasser - June 03, 2006
Kentucky coach John Cohen is furious. And what looked like the Wildcats' first break of the game just came back and bit them in the butt.
With a runner on first, Ryan Wilkes singled to right. The ball, though, went under Notre Dame's Cody Rizzo's glove and all the way to the fence. Billy Grace (the runner on first) came around third looking to score, but the third base coach held him. Grace slipped as he tried to stop and Notre Dame nailed him as he tried to get back to third.
What Cohen's furious about is the way Notre Dame got Grace at third. Brett Lilley body checked Grace as he was catching the ball, blocking him from the bag. Grace looked like he was going to beat the throw by plenty, but the body check knocked him to the ground and then Lilley tagged him out.
