Coming off a head-scratching series loss to Pittsburgh over the weekend, the Cards will travel to Lexington this evening to take on their in-state rival. Louisville (21-7, 7-2 ACC) is 6-1 in midweek games this season while Kentucky (18-11, 3-6 SEC) is 4-4 during midweek tilts, losing to powerhouses like WKU, EKU, and Ohio.
The Cards and Cats play a home-and-home every season, with the return game at Jim Patterson Stadium coming on April 19th.
Statistically, Louisville is better than Kentucky in nearly every offensive category. The Cards have a better batting average, OPS, slugging percentage, have scored more runs, tallied more home runs, triples, and stolen bases.
