March 11, 20188 yr Author LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Sophomore righthander Shay Smiddy had a career-best seven strikeouts and junior Devin Mann delivered a key three-run double as the No. 8 Louisville baseball team remained unbeaten on the season with Saturday afternoon's 6-4 series-clinching win against No. 13 North Carolina at Jim Patterson Stadium. The Cardinals moved to 14-0 overall and 2-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference while extending the second best start to a season in head coach Dan McDonnell's 12 years in Louisville. Last year's College World Series squad set a school record with its 19 straight wins to begin the season.

March 12, 20188 yr Author LOUISVILLE, Ky. - After entering the day as the nation's only unbeaten team, the No. 8 Louisville baseball squad had its 14-game winning streak halted on Sunday at Jim Patterson Stadium with a 10-3 loss to 13th-ranked North Carolina. A day after becoming the NCAA's last remaining unbeaten team for the second straight season, the Cardinals (14-1, 2-1 ACC) were unable to complete the series sweep of the Tar Heels (8-7, 1-2 ACC) halting the third best start to a season in school history, including the second longest season-opening winning streak in head coach Dan McDonnell's 12 seasons at the helm. Last year's College World Series squad set a school record with its 19 straight wins to begin the season, while the 1957 Cardinals were 17-0 overall.

March 12, 20188 yr Thompson getting the L on Sunday is tough. He pitched very well with 10 Ks. Walked the 1st batter of the 7th with UofL up 3-2 and allowed 2 runs that inning. I thought McD should have pulled him after 6 as he was at 90 pitches, but McD knows much more about it than me. Liam Jenkins still has control problems and showed it in the 8th when things got away from the Cards. Walking the leadoff batter is always a recipe for disaster. Overall, a good showing for the Cards who now run their record to 27-4 in series play in the ACC (a ridiculous statistic for sure). Texas Tech comes to JPat for 2 midweek games after being in Lexington this weekend. Midweek games are tough to judge, but will be nice to play Top 10 team 2x as the ACC is loaded. Hopefully Nick Bennett (Moeller) will be back on the mound for 1 of the games. He is slowly coming back from some shoulder pain.
