Big East: Calm Before the Storm
By Elliot Olshansky - May 22, 2007
We're through three innings here at Keyspan Park, and there really isn't much to speak of. A hit on each side, a couple of errors, but we are still scoreless, and there hasn't been much of a threat in either direction.
Things have definitely settled into a lull, and this was the game to do it in.
The early game this morning had the school groups. The second game had Rutgers, and with all but three of the Scarlet Knights hailing from the Garden State, there was a lot of family that was able to make it out to the park. The last game of the night will pit St. John's against UConn, and that should have a pretty good crowd with the Johnnies being very local, and the Huskies being close enough.
Right now, though, it's Pitt and USF, and there's really not much in the way of local support. It might have been interesting to see if Tino Martinez's name could have been used to help build interest, but really, how many people come out to see an assistant coach?
Oh well. Business should pick up soon enough at the gate. Now, about the field...
