LEXINGTON, Ky. – The pieces are starting to fall into place for Louisville baseball.
After sweeping No. 8 NC State in Raleigh over the weekend, the No. 7 Cardinals pounded their way to an 18-6 win and season sweep of rival Kentucky on Tuesday at Kentucky Proud Park.
Louisville scored in all but the first and ninth innings, plating multiple runs in each of the third through eighth innings. The Cards pounded out 23 hits, most in a single game since April 24, 2005, and scored eight unearned runs thanks to four Kentucky errors.
“We’re playing really good right now,” Louisville coach Dan McDonnell said.
