Yep, on the bus this morning to Bowling Green, Kentucky. We just passed by downtown Louisville and Slugger Field, the home of the triple-A Louisville Bats (Cincinnati Reds affiliate). Now we are passing Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, where the University of Louisville football team plays their home games. As a fan of the Kentucky Wildcats, I really can't stand the Louisville Cardinals.
What a great win last night for the Silver Hawks, rallying from a five run deficit to ultimately win 8-7 in ten innings. While this team has lacked in wins this season, there is no question that they hustle, work hard, and provide some dramatic games (seven walk off wins this year!). My voice still hasn't recovered fully from the excitement of last night. Thankfully we still have eight hours until tonight's game so I can rest up.
As always, it's just one win over a 140 game season, but you just hope that finally the team will gain some momentum from the victory and carry it over to win a few games against Bowling Green. However, maybe more so than any sport, there's really not a whole lot to be said about momentum in baseball. You could be the hottest team on the planet, but if the next pitcher you face is on his game, he can wipe away that momentum in a hurry.
Game time tonight is 7:35 Eastern Time. I'll have more from the stadium later this afternoon.
