casey in lineups...could be huge loss for tonight..
====
Sean Casey, one of the few regulars who has remained healthy, had to leave the game after suffering a mild back strain in the seventh inning. He's day-to-day.
?Hopefully, I'll be back (today),? Casey said. ?We don't need another injured player.?
That's an understatement. Boone used two players at first base ? Bill Selby and Jason LaRue ? for the first time in their careers Monday.
?I was petrified,? Boone said of putting them there.
LaRue said he played enough games in college and in the minors at first that it was no problem.
Selby, who played 17 game at first for Louisville this year, was at first when Larson threw the ball in the dirt after fielding Ron Coomer's ball. Boone did not fault Selby for failing to pick the ball out of the dirt.
?Nobody makes that play,? Boone said. ?Bran don threw a dead fish. The ball never came up.?
