To cap off one of the best days for Louisville fans in recent memory, Dan McDonnell and Co. kicked off the series against #6 Notre Dame with a loud 16-11 victory at Jim Patterson Stadium.
The Cardinals and Fighting Irish delivered blow after blow, but Louisville proved to be too much for the visitors from South Bend.
It didn’t take long for Notre Dame to get their offense going, scoring three runs in the top of the first, but Louisville answered with five of their own in the bottom half of the inning. Levi Usher connected a three run home run to left field, giving the Cards a 5-3 lead after one.
