In a clash of two of the best teams in the country, Louisville (9-1) picked up their second win in as many days over teams from Texas ranked in the top 15. Although TCU (6-4) did not go away quietly, the Louisville offense did not have to provide many fireworks due to the performance of Greg Farone (W, 1-0) in his first career start for Louisville.
With Riley Phillips struggling in his first two outings, Farone, the JUCO transfer, earned a spot in the weekend rotation after just three appearances in this young season. It was a tall task against a Horned Frogs offense that scored 11 runs against Vanderbilt and 18 against Arkansas, but he did not back down from the challenge.
