5 men’s NCAA baseball tournament players to watch
The Mongomery Advertiser’s Adam Cole and The Tennesseean’s Aria Gerson break down the top players to watch in the men’s NCAA baseball tournament.
Louisville baseball finds itself three outs away from taking Game 1 of the Louisville Super Regional against Miami in the 2025 NCAA baseball tournament.
The Cardinals, however, will have to wait some time before it can close the door on the series opener. Due to lightning in the area of Jim Patterson Stadium in Louisville, the game was sent into a lightning delay.
Prior to the start of Game 1 between the Cardinals and the Hurricanes, rain moved its way through the Louisville area but did not impact the first pitch.
Louisville is currently leading Miami 8-1 in the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs. Garrett Pike and Lucas Munroe hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the second to get the scoring going for the Cardinals. Louisville then plated five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to open up the game.
Here’s the latest weather updates for the Louisville Super Regional:
