Not a good day for University of Louisville baseball.
Three hours, twenty-two minutes of slow, agonizing, drawn out drama. The Cardinals managing only four hits in a 6-2 loss to Florida State, exiting the ACC Championship tournament early for the third consecutive season.
Making FSU’s Tyler Holton look like a world beater, striking out 10 Cardinal batters while allowing only five runners to reach base in eight innings. His only mistake giving up a 420-foot home run to Brendan McKay in the sixth inning.
The third consecutive loss to FSU and the fourth loss in the last five games. The latest loss confirming that the team ranked second nationally for most of the season has some serious challenges to overcome as the NCAA tournament approaches.
The only good news following the latest loss is, thanks to an impressive regular season record, Louisville is assured of hosting a regional tournament at Jim Patterson next week.
