Cam Hoke didn’t see it. “I thought it was gonna go foul,” the Terre Haute South sophomore said of his drive in the bottom of the sixth inning Friday night. “I guess it barely tapped the foul pole.”kAm“xE H2D 2 ?@\5@F3E6C[” D2:5 $@FE9 4@249 y2D@? u:6=5D[ H2E49:?8 H92E AC@G65 E@ 36 E96 82>6\564:5:?8 9@>6C :? $@FE9’D c\b r@?76C6?46 x?5:2?2 9:89 D49@@= 32D632== G:4E@CJ @G6C G:D:E:?8 %6CC6 w2FE6 }@CE9 7C@> 9:D E9:C5\32D6 4@249’D 3@I]k^Am kAm“qFE :E H2D 4FCG:?8 7@F=] (96?
