A slow agonizing drawn out day, probably slamming the door on the season.

The University of Louisville baseball team losing two games Friday, the first to UConn, the second to South Florida, facilitating an early exit from the Big East Tournament.

Pitching ineffective, hitting almost non-existent when it counted so many times during a 39-20 season. A less than euphoric end of the season, needing St. John’s to lose to tie for first place and the No. 1 seed in the tournament.

Possible career-ending days for Stewart Ijames  going zero for seven at-bats on the final day, Justin Amlung getting torched for 10 hits, Derek Self giving up two runs in relief.

An invitation to the NCAA Tournament may be a long shot now.

  1. Despite the disaster in Tampa, I think they’re safe for an NCAA bid.
