CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – No. 7 Louisville (22-11, 14-6 ACC) took the final two games, including an 8-2 win on Sunday (April 18), to capture the weekend series against Virginia (17-17, 9-15 ACC). The series victory for the Cardinals was the first over the Cavaliers since 2017.
Louisville starting pitcher Luke Smith held Virginia scoreless over the first seven innings of the ball game before junior
Zack Gelof (Rehoboth Beach, Del.) cracked a two-run homer in the eighth to get the Cavaliers on the scoreboard. The homer for Gelof moved him into a tie for the team lead with five on the year and he finished 2-of-4 with two RBI in the contest.

It doesn’t always start with The Stare.
But when it comes, that glare, with enough blow-torch heat to weld batters hands to the bat, making proper swings impossible, it is a pitching spectacle.
Amplified by those bug-eyed sports spectacles, the signature scowl is trouble for foes, and a delight for Cardinal fans.
On Sunday, when the Cards blasted UVa, 8-2, the Stare was there.
Luke Smith was On!
In the series decider, Smith took awhile to find his groove. He surrendered a single in the 1st, another in the 2d, along with one-out two-bagger.
