Louisville claims regional title with thrilling 11-9 win over Michigan

Louisville claimed its ninth regional title with an 11-9 win over Michigan Monday afternoon that is certain to go down as one of the most memorable games ever played at Jim Patterson Stadium.

The game, which was moved from a 6 p.m. start to a noon start because of weather, started off on a sour note for the hosts. Cardinal starter Garrett Schmeltz allowed back-to-back-to-back doubles to start the game as Michigan raced out to a 2-0 lead that could have been a bit more.

U of L answered in a major way in the home half of the frame.
