Bat Cats fall 8-6 to Vandy

Hopefully Rick can pull them through the next 2 days.


By the way, tomorrow's fame is supposed to be on FSN at 4:00.

The score doesnt really reflect the game. Vandy could have won this game 15-6(or worse), even their outs were hard hit balls. I couldnt get over how they hit the ball tonight, our OF's caught more line drives and balls on the warning track than I could keep count of. Not to mention we twice had runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out and the next two batters(4 total) took called third strikes. Hopefully we got it out of our system. Coach Cohen and several players yelled to us after the game that they would win the next two to make up for it.

Vandy has no locker rooms available through the dugouts, so the players leave the field through the fans going to the bus. Several players and Coach Cohen stopped by the UK fans and thanked us for coming out to support them.

Athens 2005, if at all possible try to get there for batting practice. I got down there about 1.5 hours before the first pitchto watch the Cats hit andJohn Shelby, Brian Hastings, Craig Snipp and a couple other players came over where I was standing behind homeplate to talk with me. Very friendly guys all around.

Hopefully we can turn it around Saturday and Sunday. All three games were down to standing room only tickets when I got down there this afternoon, so should be good attendance over the weekend series.

Thanks for the tip. School will be out by the time they come to Athens, so it should be easy to get there early and hang out.

Enjoy the next two games.
