Louisville takes game one from Notre Dame in walk-off fashion

The Louisville baseball team kicked off its final series of the regular season in style.

Freshman Zach Britton singled with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Cardinals to a 5-4 win over Notre Dame Thursday night at Jim Patterson Stadium. Britton entered the evening hitting just .238 for the season, but has now hit safely in four of his last five appearances.

The victory moved U of L to 16-12 in ACC play, and guaranteed that Dan McDonnell’s club will finish with a winning record in the conference.
