Following another long offseason, college baseball has finally returned to the Ville! The Louisville baseball program begins their 2024 season this weekend down in Tampa, Fla., and will make their return to Jim Patterson Stadium next week.
The Cardinals are coming off a season where they missed the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three season, as well as the ACC Tournament for the first time since joining the conference.
That being said, Louisville does retain a lot players from last season, and has the potential to make some noise if everything comes together.
All that being said, it's time to dive into another season of college baseball, and take a look at Louisville's first week of their 2024 campaign:
