Press Release from the University of Louisville:

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The University of Louisville baseball team lost in walk-off fashion for the second consecutive night, losing 6-5 at Wake Forest on Friday in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Louisville (26-21. 10-13 ACC) had a 5-4 lead heading to the ninth inning on Friday night.

The Cardinals got a walk and throwing error to put runners on the corners to start the top half of the frame. However, a double play erased the two lead runners, and a groundout ended the half-inning without Louisville adding to its lead.

Wake Forest (31-17, 13-13) would capitalize in the bottom half. A leadoff single was followed by a walk. The Cardinals then had a throwing error on a sacrifice bunt attempt that allowed the tying run to score. After another walk loaded the bases, a hit by pitch forced home the game-winning run.

Brandon Shannon (2-3) was hit with the loss after allowing the runs in the ninth.…
