There's a long history of basketball players also playing softball -- just ask Annie Meyers about the Lionettes from Orange, California.

Or, ask former Louisville point guard Patrika Barlow.

Taking advantage of the NCAA rule that gives student-athletes five years of eligibility, although only four in any one sport, Barlow is now a candidate for the starting job in right field for the softball team while she pursues a master's degree in social work.
