Louisville Advances to Sixth College World Series with 3-2 Win Over Miami

The Louisville Cardinals secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over the Miami Hurricanes in the decisive Game 3 of the NCAA Super Regional, earning their sixth trip to the College World Series. Miami initially took a 2-0 lead with a two-run homer by Max Galvin, but Louisville responded with timely hitting, including an RBI double by Zion Rose and a crucial two-out double by Eddie King Jr. in the seventh inning that drove in the winning run. Louisville's pitching staff, led by Ethan Eberle and complemented by Jake Schweitzer, Justin West, and Brennyn Cutts, effectively shut down Miami's offense in the latter innings. The Cardinals demonstrated resilience by overcoming early deficits and capitalizing on key moments to advance. Louisville will face the winner of the Oregon State and Florida State series in Omaha. Miami, which had hoped for its 26th College World Series appearance, was unable to extend the game despite late-inning opportunities.
