The time UK baseball was one win from making the College World Series

Fast-break points from a baseball state:

21. Dan McDonnell. The Louisville coach has now led U of L — a school with no substantial baseball history before McDonnell — to four trips to the College World Series. It is one of the most impressive coaching jobs in commonwealth sports history.

20. Nick Mingione. Losing to Louisville in high-stakes games like an NCAA Tournament super regional is never fun for Kentucky backers. Still, the UK baseball coach produced more in his first season than any reasonable Cats fan could have expected.
