Louisville baseball rallies past Xavier in opener

Opening home game 2022 for the University of Louisville baseball team. Ideal weather for a February game for a change, temperature hovering around the 65-degree mark. The Cardinals coming off two straight losses in Florida, attempting to get things going in the right direction.

And they will get things turned around, but they will need a huge break to get a 7-6 win over Xavier in front of 1,069 fans at Jim Patterson Stadium.

Seventh inning, bases loaded, one out, trailing 4-1. UofL’s J.T. Benson will hit a long fly ball to right center field. Logan Beard will score from third, but the umpires will rule that the runners had left early and that one had touched second base prematurely.
