The Cards scored five more runs in the third inning.

Justin Lavey started the scoring with a two run home-run to left center in the first at bat of the inning, scoring Wyatt. The team then loaded the bases. The Cards cashed in with Nick Fitzgerald notching an RBI single, then scoring another run on an errant throw on a pick-off so Pat Rumoro could score. Finally, the scoring ended on a sac fly from Stowers to score Fitzgerald.

Louisville led 8-0 going into the fourth.

The bats quieted down until the seventh when Ethan Stringer lined a double down the left field line to score Lavey from first. The team tacked on two more run in the inning with a Fitzgerald sac fly to score Stringer and followed with a Stowers RBI triple with two outs in the inning.

Louisville led 11-0 moving into the eighth.
