Jake Snider raised both arms in triumph as he rounded first base in the first stop on his sixth-inning home run tour, a chorus of cheers and a flashing scoreboard the backdrop to Louisville's convincing 8-2 win over Kentucky on Tuesday at Jim Patterson Stadium.

No. 20 Louisville came back from a 1-0 deficit with a burst of offensive firepower to exact revenge on No. 6 Kentucky for an 8-5 loss two weeks earlier at Cliff Hagan Stadium in Lexington.

Bats came alive up and down Louisville's lineup as three Cardinals had multi-hit games: Danny Oriente (2 RBI), Josh Stowers (2 RBI, 1 run) and Snider (2 RBI, 2 runs).
