Big East: Colder By The Minute

By Grant Tunkel - May 23, 2007

The wind continues to whip through the press box here, making it much colder. I can only imagine what it will be like once the sun completely goes down and night falls. I'm also curious to see how many people show up for tonight's game between USF and St. John's. And I also wonder if USF's players will put on long sleeves - actually, do they even own long sleeves?

Meanwhile, things are getting cold for Casey Gaynor and Rutgers, as the young righty has allowed 3 runs with two outs and has been chased from the game, the shortest outing for any starting pitcher all day. A wild pitch advanced Chris Dominquez to third, and that allowed him to score on Chris Cates' single to shallow right. Boomer Whiting then unloaded on a pitch for a 2-run blast to left to make the score 5-1 in favor of the Cardinals. Reliever Matt Patterson came in to strike out Logan Johnson for the last out in the top of the 6th.

5-1 Louisville, mid 6.
