The Cardinals fall back to .500 in ACC play with the loss to the Tar Heels.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Continuing on their final road series of the regular season at North Carolina, the Louisville baseball program came up just short in game two, falling 6-4 on Saturday at Boshamer Stadium.
Luke Napleton , Eddie King Jr. and Zion Rose all had multi-hit days, with Napleton homering and driving in three of Louisville's four runs on the afternoon. For the game, the Cardinals hit just 3-of-15 with runners on base. The first crooked number of the afternoon came in the third, when UNC collected a leadoff home run and an RBI groundout off of starter Evan Webster . UofL immediately responded, with Napleton blasting a three-run homer in the fourth to hand Louisville their first - and only - lead of the game.
Through the middle innings and down the stretch, Louisville was able to get some steady pitching from their bullpen. Forbes tossed scoreless fifth and sixth innings, Kaleb Corbett allowed only a sacrifice fly in the seventh after Kayden Campbell loaded the bases earlier in the frame, then Corbett pitched a scoreless eighth.
