Louisville Baseball Win Home Opener Against Xavier

By Daniel Rankin —

On Feb. 21, the Louisville Cardinals Baseball team won their first home game of the season against Xavier University by a score of 7-6. Rebounding after two straight losses on their Florida trip, the Cards now move to a record of 2-2.

The win was sparked by a 7th inning rally where the Cards scored six runs after being down 4-1.

After a scoreless start, Xavier got on the board in the second after the wind carried a flyball over the fence.

That lead wouldn’t last long; however, as in the bottom of the inning, Junior Dalton Rushing tied the game, hitting a hanging 2-0 pitch over the left-field wall.
