Wildcats hit...and hit...and hit!

Luckily, ESPN 3 carried the Arizona-Louisville game last night. So, I propped up my healing right foot on a couple of pillows, positioned my laptop in the center of my bed and watched the Wildcats scatter 23 hits around Hi Corbett Field en route to a 16-4 second-round Tucson NCAA Regional win over the Cardinals.

My goodness, can the Wildcats hit! That's 43 hits in two days. Alex Mejias, the Pac-12 Player of the Year, certainly acted like an MVP, reaching base six times with five hits and a walk. Seth Mejias-Brean rattled four hits around the Hi Corbett confines, while the rest of the Wildcats' lineup got into the hitting barrage as well, including reserve Brandon Dixon, who homered in the seventh inning with a three-run blast over the left field fence. Up til then, it was all singles, doubles and triples by the  Wildcats, who will now sit back and await the winner of  Sunday's 4 p.m. game between Missouri and Louisville. The Arizona Wildcats may not need batting practice before the championship game, which is scheduled for 8 p.m. I think they've had enough!

Way to go, Wildcats! Rest up and reload!

Ali watch:   Muhammad Ali was on hand to watch his hometown Louisville Cardinals play the Wildcats last night. What a treat that must have been for the 4,007 fans in attendance. Just another moment in time to add to the glamour of the historic ball park, Hi Corbett Field.
