After a difficult 0-4 week, Louisville (27-13, 8-10 ACC) could not have responded any better, shutting out No. 15 Kentucky (30-10, 11-7 SEC) in Lexington on Tuesday night in front of 5,292 fans, the regular season single game attendance record for the Cats.
The Cards are 14-3 in the last 17 games against their in-state rival. Seems good.
It was a bullpen day for Coach McDonnell and his club, who stuck to the script and executed it to perfection. Evan Webster (W, 2-2) tossed the first two innings, allowing just one hit and picking up two strikeouts along the way.
