If the Louisville baseball team is going to win its ninth regional title in program history, it’s going to have to do so the hard way.
Cardinal ace Jared Poland picked the wrong time to have his worst start of the season, allowing season-highs of nine hits and seven runs as Michigan took down top-seeded U of L, 7-3, Saturday at Jim Patterson Stadium.
Louisville is now tasked with defeating Oregon (first pitch noon on Sunday) in an elimination game and then winning two straight over the Wolverines (4 p.m. tomorrow then 6 p.m. on Monday) if it wants its season to survive for at least another week.
