Final Cardinals Baseball Homestand Begins Tonight
The final homestand for the University of Louisville Cardinals baseball team begins tonight at Jim Patterson Stadium at 6 PM. Our Cardinals (34-18, with a 14-10 record in the Big East) take on the Ball State Cardinals tonight, then finish out the season against conference rivals the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (all games except Saturday start at 6 PM; Saturday’s game begins at 1 PM). All games are of course free to the public, so this will be the last chance for the fans to catch the baseball team before the Big East tournament, which begins on the 20th in Clearwater, Florida.
In additional not-quite-baseball-but-still-really-cool news, the Louisville Cardinals softball team is once again heading to the NCAA tournament (from the Courier-Journal):
The University of Louisville softball team earned its fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament bid yesterday.
The Cardinals (30-21) will travel to Knoxville, Tenn., and play Virginia Tech (44-15) on Friday. Tennessee (47-14) will face Winthrop (36-17) in the regional’s other first-round game. Times have not been determined.
Congratulations, Cardinals!

Some fellas from my brother’s H.S. team play for the Cardinals this year. I kept meaning to check them out, but guess I waited around too long.
