- You know that pitching staff that received a lot of criticism down the stretch? This is what they’ve done in two NCAA Tournament games (against one of the best offenses in the country and No. 1 overall seed): 18 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 28 K (!!), 6 BB Hat tip, fellas.
- Louisville has landed a commitment from RHP Brennyn Cutts, a transfer from Indiana State University, according to @pughgrant. Cutts was named the 2024 MVC Pitcher of the Year after going 7-1 with a 3.69 ERA. Currently ranked the No. 23 in the transfer portal by @64Analytics
- Wins and losses aside, Super Regional or not, one thing is very clear: there is no better ambassador for our university than Dan McDonnell. Take a look around the country at other programs and see how their coaches acted vs. how ours acted.
