Big East: Hits Keep Coming

By Grant Tunkel - May 23, 2007

Both Villanova and Notre Dame are fighting for their tournament lives here, having lost their respective games yesterday.

The Wildcats have come out playing with a sense of urgency, using two doubles and an error to score 2 runs in the top half of the first. However, they left the bases loaded, with Gus Guida striking out to end the threat.

Meanwhile, Notre Dame leadoff hitter reached base by way of the hit-by-pitch. It should be noted that Lilley was hit for the 78th time in his career - fourth all-time in NCAA history, and he's only a junior. However, he was stranded at third when Matt Weglarz struck out looking.

2-0 'Nova through 1.
