Wednesday Cardinal Couple
- Softball Team throws out first pitch at UofL baseball game.
-Game times changes for Saturday softball
-Kiyohara a true team player
The University of Louisville softball team took to the diamond a few days earlier than expected, and it wasn't at Ulmer Stadium for the NCAA Softball Regionals.
Instead, Sandy Pearsall's squad traveled across campus to Jim Patterson Stadium to throw out the first pitch for the Louisville vs. Morehead baseball game. The Cards won the Senior Day contest 8-3 over the Eagles and used eight pitchers in the contest.
None of the eight were from the softball team, as far as we know...but Collins, Leonard and Connell could have probably shut the Eagles down.

Cards Send Seniors off in style with 8-3 win.

ESPN has decided to pick up the second day of action at the Softball Regionals at Ulmer on Saturday. Not ESPN 2, U, 3, Classic or Desportes...but the original ESPN.
They've also changed the start times for the games on Saturday. First pitch is at 3 p.m. now...when the winners of Friday's games one and two will face off. The revised schedule:
Saturday
3:00 p.m. GAME 3 Winner #1 vs. Winner #2
5:30 p.m. GAME 4 Loser #1 vs. Loser #2
8:00 p.m. GAME 5 Winner #4 vs. Loser #3
No changes to Sunday...and ESPN 2 still has the feed for that one...as far as we know.
We'll see if Brent Musberger and Dick Vitale show up to do these.
But, no problems if Jennie Finch does the color analysis again. Not only does she know softball...she's pretty pleasing to the eye as well.
Great opportunity for the softball Cards to get at least one game in on the flagship ESPN Network station. And, we hope one is all they'll have to play Saturday. That means that they've won two games and will be playing in the finals...scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday.
*******************************************
Cardinal softball player Hannah Kiyohara was selected to the BIG EAST First Team in the 2011 season. The freshman right-fielder started 42 of the Cards 49 games and batted .331 for the season. After such an auspicious beginning to her career, the sky looked the limit for the Auburn, Washington native.
Instead, she became the Cards utility player her sophomore year. Seeing action in 35 of the Cards 53 games and starting 25 of them, Sandy Pearsall has used her at right-field, short shop, second base and also at designated hitter this year.
We can't confirm it, but it is rumored she also filled in for J-Bone on public address duties and played the organ at games when Al Greener wasn't available.
When the decision was made to rest Kristin Austin and her sore hamstring in a couple of the BIG EAST Tournament games, Kiyohara took over right field and the Cards were in capable hands.
Hannah Kiyohara defines the term "team player" and with Austin's graduation this year, we're confident that #24 will return to her right-field domain for the 2013 season.
Unless Sandy Pearsall loans her to Jeff Walz as a back-up point guard (she played basketball also at her high school, led the team in scoring and was First Team All-South Puget Sound League) or has her directing traffic at the corner of Floyd and Brandeis.
If you need it done...and in a efficient "mannah"...call Hannah.
( OK. Corny rhyme. We're outta here. See ya Thursday.)
