At the end of the regional championship game (K-State's first regional appearance ever!)when it became very obvious we were not going to be able to come back and win, Coach Hill made a gesture that I know I'll never forget. He went to the mound to make a pitching change and at the same time, had 5 subs brought in to take our Sr. starters' places in the field. They left the field-granted with tears-but with hugs from their teammates and a standing ovation from our fans, as well as, the Rice fans. An incredible thank you for all their hard work over these last couple of years to help Kansas State become the team it was this year. A much better send-off than walking off the field after the loss as the Rice team celebrated. Thanks to the Rice fans as well for helping make it a special ending for them.
