Improbably, the 2019 Louisville baseball is rolling along.
Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the 9th inning against a Mississippi State team that had been 47-0 when leading after eight innings this season, the Cardinals got back-to-back two strike hits from Danny Oriente and Drew Campbell to produce their first walk-off win of the postseason. In doing so, U of L opened the door for more postseason heroics in the days to come.
Louisville will now play their third straight elimination game Friday night against Vanderbilt. The Commodores defeated the Cardinals 3-1 on Sunday. A U of L victory would set up a second meeting between the pair on Saturday evening, with the winner advancing to the College World Series championship series.
