MILLINGTON, Tenn. &045; Sooner than later, everyone thought, all this would catch up with Co-Lin’s baseball Wolves.

While the Wolves even proved fortune tellers wrong in their run in the postseason, things may have finally caught up with them Tuesday night in a 10-0 defeat at the hands of Parkland, Ill., College in a losers’ bracket semifinal game at the NJCAA Division II College World Series.

It had to have caught up with them &045; the Wolves wrapped up their game last night just short of midnight, didn’t get to be until after 2 p.m. and had to prepare for a 3 p.m. game Tuesday against Parkland.

Parkland needed just six innings to end the Wolves’ season at 32-28-1.

&uot;I told our guys what’s probably the most rewarding was we went through our regional tournament, the super regional and the World Series and played more ranked teams than anybody up there,&uot; Co-Lin head coach Keith Case said. &uot;We took the rough way up there. A lot of other teams up there &045; a lot of teams they beat weren’t ranked or where unknowns. It was a ranked team every time we turned around.

&uot;I was proud of the guys for responding, but it caught up with us. For 3 1/2 weeks we’ve been doing that, and it jumped on us.&uot;

The Wolves, who had 16 hits Monday night in the win over Chesapeake, Md., that sent the losers home in an elimination game, couldn’t get anything going offensively against Parkland left-hander Dan Collar.

The Wolves had just three hits in the six innings &045; all singles &045; and never could get a rally going. Parkland, meanwhile, took advantage of Co-Lin’s late night with two runs in the first and five in the second to take a quick lead.

The game was the Wolves’ fourth in four days.

&uot;(Monday night) kind of pushed us to the limit,&uot; Case said. &uot;During the course of the year we’ve had problems with left-handers. He was a good left-handed pitcher. He commanded his fastball, had a good curveball and did what he had to do.&uot;

Parkland got two runs in the first inning off Lance Deville, who closed out Monday’s game for his first save of the season. Cleanup hitter Lance Tofflemire launched a solo homer to right after the first run scored.

In the second the Wolves had two errors as Parkland got five off five hits, including a two-run double down the line from Jesse Griswold. Justin Smith came in relief of Deville in the third and finished until Parkland ended it with one out in the sixth.

Josh Logan had two of the Wolves’ three hits in the game. He was thrown out trying to steal in the first.

In the fourth Logan singled up the middle to lead off and went to third when Patrick Williams singled and moved up a bag on the throw. But Logan was thrown out at the plate on a ball hit by Jody Britt back to the mound for the second out, and Garrett Jones flied out to center to end the inning.

&uot;We had six guys who had to take Ivs before the ball game,&uot; Case said. &uot;We were just trying to hang in there and finish it. I talked with our athletic director, and he said he’d love to be in the top four in the nation every year, but when you get there, you always want a little bit more.&uot;
