June 14th: On this date.....

..... in 2007, your University of Kentucky Wildcats baseball star Sean Coughlin was named first team All-American. The catcher (from Colorado) became the fifth player in program history to be named to the first team, following Ryan Strieby, who was named to the team in 2006. Coughlin led the squad in HRs (13) and RBI (73), and was fourth in batting average (.344). He helped turn around a struggling program and helped Kentucky win the SEC for the first time ever in 2006. The lineup featured five MLB draft picks, including Lexington's John Shelby and 2006 All-American Ryan Strieby. Coughlin was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 13th round of the 2007 MLB Draft.
