I do not like literal roller coasters. But figurative roller coasters in sports are usually a whole lot of fun. If you followed the Cincinnati Bearcats yesterday in the title game against the Miami-Ohio RedHawks, you needed to strap in and keep your hands and feet inside the ride. The Bearcats rallied from a five-run deficit, but let a ninth-inning lead slip away in a 9-8 loss.
The game started with two bangs, as Kyle Mottice homered in the first at-bat of the game and Manny Rodriguez followed with a solo shot of his own.
