Louisville Cardinals baseball won an NCAA CWS elimination baseball game vs Oregon State. Three takeaways from UofL baseball's NCAA Tournament win:

Oregon State’s Kellan Oakes just missed on a full-count pitch to Alicea to start the bottom half of the ninth, and the Cardinals had a runner on first. Then a catcher’s interference call and a fielding error by Oakes on a bunt loaded the bases with no outs.

Louisville Cardinals edge Oregon State 7-6, advancing to the College World Series semifinals. Next up: Coastal Carolina on Wednesday at 2 p.m.!

Louisville saw its 3-run lead disappear in the 9th inning, but scored in its last at-bat to walk-off Oregon State in a CWS elimination game.

The Cardinals will face the Chanticleers tomorrow — Wednesday, June 18 — with their next game slated for the following day, June 19, if Louisville advances. The Cardinals are close enough to taste the glory of CWS victory, but it will take incredible endurance and perhaps a bit of luck, as always.

The 2025 Men's College World Series kicked off Friday, with No. 13 Coastal Carolina earning the first win of the tournament over Arizona and No. 8 Oregon State outlasting Louisville. Oregon State had a win in hand entering the ninth inning, and didn't let some misadventures stop them from advancing in the winner's bracket.
