UK Wildcat Outfielders Sawyer Carroll and Colin Cowgill

I felt fortunate to see two great hits by Sawyer and Colin in the same inning during their game against the Ole Miss Rebels in this year's SEC Baseball Tournament in Hoover, Alabama. For this picture, I was even luckier to catch them both together meeting with Coach Bohannon during an Ole Miss pitching change. Because of the high noise in the picture I applied some art effects in Photoshop to get the above results.

Sawyer Carroll and Colin Cowgill are excellent baseball players. They were recently selected as First-Team All-SEC outfielders and named as Golden Spikes Player of the Year Semifinalists. They are also on the Dick Howser and Brooks Wallace Player of the Year watch lists. Sawyer leads the SEC in batting average (.416) and RBIs (77). While Colin leads the Wildcats in home runs (18) with a .364 batting average and 56 RBIs. Colin also leads the team in walks and he has stolen 20 bases.

Late Thursday night, my son and I left near the end of the game because he had one day of school left. The game was back and forth and at the time we left, it appeared UK had it locked up. We rushed home and turned the television on only to see Ole Miss outfielder Mike Guerrero slam a walk-off homer in the ninth to beat Kentucky 8-7.

Kentucky has a great team and I'll be looking to see where they go in the NCAA Tournament.
