By Mike Gilpatrick–

With the 10-4 win over Ball State (2-1), sixth-ranked baseball (3-0) completed the sweep of their season-opening series in Clearwater, Florida.

A team effort from the pitching staff, freshman Michael Avene started off on the mound. Avene went 3.2 innings of one-run ball, striking out four and walking three.

In the second inning, freshman Zeke Pinkham’s RBI single gave Louisville their first run.

Moving to the third, junior Brendan McKay launched his second home run on the season over right field.
