Big East: Cardinals Jump Ahead

By Grant Tunkel - May 23, 2007

Just as it seemed like Casey Gaynor had settled in, retiring 6 of the last 7 batters to face him and only allowing a single over that stretch, the Louisville bats struck back. Daniel Burton led off the 4th with a hot smash to left that just stayed fair as it cleared the fence, giving the Cardinals a 2-1 lead. Louisville then loaded the bases with an error, a single and a walk before Gaynor got Louisville's 9th place hitter Chris Cates to fly out to right.

2-1 Louisville, bottom 4.
