They were DFL in their conference last year and missed the Big East tournament. Maybe we'll compete in this series.
Slow start. Top of the first, walk, walk, double, groundout RBI for a quick 2-0. Then we got 'em.

Tied after 2. Putnam homered. Maybe. Announcer said he did. Scoreboard changed. All the camera showed was the pitcher, the catcher, and some fans. That made it 2-1. Wilhoit doubled and came in on Jed Howard's hit. Howard tried to stretch a single and was out at 2nd. But Wilhoit scored.

Howard singled in the 4th with 2 out, 2 on. Home Cats lead 2-3. Rice walks on 4 straight. Calero up, pitching change.

Nice debut for Jed Howard. Bottom 5, loaded em with no outs. Scored 1. Then Howard came up with bases loaded, 2 out. Hit it to the same spot as the first two. 3-3, 4 RBI. We're up 2-6 after 5.

Re: Up now: Villanova
Wilhoit hit a 3-run line drive just over the wall in left. 2-9, bottom 7. Jed Howard 4-4 to the exact same location. This one had a little more air under it. A better fielder probably catches it, but it got through him for a double. Pitching change.

Jake Wilhoit got the count to 3-2 after 10 pitches, then hit a screaming line drive over the left field fence on pitch #11. Two runners on, now 9-2 Wildcats in the 7th with Cats still batting. Freshman Jed Howard just got his 4th hit.

Still 2-9, top 8. Wilson Perkins went 4 2/3. It's been Brycen Champey since.
Now 3-9, 1 on, none out. Relievers getting ready.

Leaking oil. 6-9, no outs. Runners at 1st and 2nd. We tried Katz at 3-9. Time for someone else.

Villanova with 4 runs on 4 walks, 2 wild pitches , and 2 singles. Katz pitched to 3 batters, threw 13 pitches, only 4 of which were over the plate, and one of those was hit for a 2-run single. Still no outs, 2 runners on.

We went to Fix. Hit the first guy to load the bases.

I'll bow out, David. I ain't adding anything.
