... in 2008, your University of Kentucky Wildcats baseball team made history when two members were named first team All-America by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. Outfielders Sawyer Carroll and Colin Cowgill had two of the best season's in program history and led the Cats to a school record 44 wins. Carroll's set a number of school records, including career batting average (.386), hits (97), and RBI (83). Cowgill's numbers were just as impressive, as he set a school mark in runs (80), along with a .361 average, 19 HRs, 60 RBI, 23 steals, seven outfield assists, and a first team Academic All-American honor. In all, it was one of the greatest seasons in program history and it was capped off with a record seven players being drafted in the 2008 MLB Draft. They were the school's sixth and seventh first Team All-Americans.
