Pittsburgh Walks Off Louisville, Eliminates Cards From ACC Tournament

In a win-or-go-home game against Pittsburgh (29-26, 13-16 ACC), the 11 seed in the ACC Tournament, Louisville (38-17-1, 18-11-1 ACC) gave up three runs in the final three innings, falling to the underdogs in walk-off fashion. The Panthers improved to 3-1 against Louisville on the season.

Dan McDonnell and Roger Williams elected to start Garrett Schmeltz on the mound rather than their ace, Jared Poland (L, 5-4), who pitched .2 innings in relief. Schmeltz tossed the first three innings, giving up two runs, both from a home run in the third inning. Outside of that one pitch, he was locked in, striking out five batters.
