Louisville Baseball began their week at home, winning a 7-2 game against in-state opponent Northern Kentucky. Sophomore Austin Dickey picked up the win (his first), striking out two and allowing just a single hit in two innings.
The Cardinals then hit the road for a weekend showdown with ACC foe Virginia Tech. The series was set to be played Friday-Saturday-Sunday, but the Sunday forecast forced the teams into a Saturday doubleheader.
Winning on the road isn’t easy, especially when your opponent is celebrating the grand opening of it’s newly-renovated stadium. Louisville would not be phased by fireworks, however, as it held the Hokies to just four runs over the course of 27 innings.
