Louisville baseball 2023 schedule: Cards, on ACC tournament bubble, lose to FSU in Game 2
Louisville's quest to return to the ACC tournament got more challenging.
Florida State overcame a 4-0 deficit and put together a three-run ninth inning to beat the Cardinals 7-4 on Friday at Jim Patterson Stadium.
The loss doesn't eliminate Louisville from qualifying for the ACC tournament but does make it harder. Louisville (31-23, 10-19 ACC) needs a win against FSU at 1 p.m. Saturday and an N.C. State sweep of Pitt to nab the 12th and final spot. The Wolfpack topped the Panthers 7-2 on Thursday and 17-8 on Friday. N.C. State and Pitt also play at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Louisville relief pitcher Tate Kuehner (2-4) absorbed the loss after giving up five earned runs on six hits in the final 2 2/3 innings. Evan Webster started the game and held the Seminoles to one hit and fanned four in three innings of work.
Louisville scored all four runs in the third inning with Logan Beard (1-for-3) and JT Benson (1-for-4) each hitting a home run. Beard started the inning with a solo homer to center before Benson's three-run shot to left field.
