Baseball Cards begin the healing, romp past #1 Cats

Nothing will ever be able to erase a loss to the hated Cats in the Final Four, but I'm not going to lie, last night was not unplesant. The Louisville Cards baseball team traveled to Cliff Hagan stadium in Lexington and plastered the #1 ranked Wildcats in front of a packed house.

Biggest honors go to freshman pitcher Jared Ruxer, who shut down the powerful UK lineup, giving up just three hits in six innings to go along with six strikeouts. Offensively it was classic Dan McDonnell baseball, with production up and down the lineup, a potent combination of power and small ball.

Welcome the Cards home at Jim Patterson Friday night when they begin a series with Seton Hall. They'll play again on Saturday at 3:00, which combined with the Spring Game spillover, should make for a fun atmosphere on UofL's sports corridor.

Well done, fellas.
