Nick Bennett is just fine, thank you, alleviating the concerns of numerous University of Louisville baseball fans going into the opening game of the Louisville Region. He’s had more than his share of shaky starts lately but hanging around this night for a 5-3 win over Illinois-Chicago.
Not a good start, not with the first batter of the game driving the ball out of the park, as did the first batter in the next inning. The visitors with a quick 3-0 lead going into the bottom the second inning. Bennett and Coach Dan McDonnell hoping the UofL bats would awaken sometime soon.
