For the second straight year, the Cardinal Baseball Team won the Big East regular season crown, earning them the #1 seed in the BE Tournament, which starts Wednesday.
The Cardinals entered the final week of Big East play trailing league-leading Connecticut by a half-game in the conference standings. Louisville took all 3 against Notre Dame, while UConn lost the season finale against Seton Hall. The Cards finished 21-6, with UConn at 20-6.
While the post-season has yet to begin, this highly-successful regular season is further testament to the amazing job that Coach Dan McDonnell has done since taking over the reins in 2006. In his first season as HC, the Cardinals made it to Omaha for the College World Series. The Cardinals were not able to duplicate the same success in 2008, losing to Georgia Tech in the Regional.
Last season saw the Cards make it to the Super Regional, where they were defeated by perennial power Cal State Fullerton.
This sustained success, coupled with the impressive Jim Patterson stadium, has the Cardinal Baseball train moving in the right direction. Go CARDS!!
