Tears from flowing down his cheeks the last time we saw Dan McDonnell. As disappointed as we’ve ever seen him, struggling to regain his composure, one game short of a fourth trip to the College World Series.
His University of Louisville baseball team had just lost a 4-3 heartbreaker to Cal State in the 11th inning of the Super Regional. He was shocked and heartbroken for his players, promising UofL fans through the tears, “We’ll be back.”
Won’t be long now. The college baseball season begins in a little over a month, with Louisville opening the 2016 season against Southern Illinois-Edwardsville on February 19th.
