Big East: Panthers Bite Back

By Grant Tunkel - May 23, 2007

Pittsburgh hadn't had a runner past 2nd base in the game's first 5 innings, but the Panthers aren't going to go down without a fight. They touched up UConn starter Mike Tarsi for 2 runs on 3 hits to cut the deficit to 3. Pitt catcher Nick Mullins got a hold of a ball and hit it to left, but it stayed in the park for a long sacrifice fly.

Meanwhile, a foul ball came back to the press box and as I'm getting out of my chair to retrieve it, Dick Groat is up with the ball and ready to fire to first. Well, not quite, but he beat me to it.

5-2 Huskies, middle 6.
