A Tough Call
By Elliot Olshansky - May 22, 2007
It's stretch time in Brooklyn, and Louisville starter Zack Pitts is done for the day. It was probably time - he just hit the Wildcats' Jim Gillin, and he's been having some control problems - but it's still a tough call for Cardinals coach Dan McDonnell, since the junior from Elizabethtown, Ky., had yet to allow a hit when he left the ballgame.
I've been avoiding mentioning that in so many words - due to that point of etiquette which dictates that you don't talk about no-hitters for fear of jinxing them - but jinxes be damned, I'm also going to mention that Wildcats senior Mike Loree is still working on his own no-no. I just hope I don't find myself looking right in the face o an angry Loree or 'Nova head coach Joe Godri in a couple of hours, but there, I said it, and really, what a way to open the Big East tournamen. Pitts may be gone, but there's no changing the fact that there's an epic pitchers' duel on our hands, with Gavin Logsdon having picked up right where Pitts left off.
