LOUISVILLE, Ky. - With only two weeks left in fall workouts, the Louisville baseball team will host open scrimmages on Thursday and Friday afternoon at Jim Patterson Stadium.
The Cardinals will open this week's scrimmage schedule on Thursday at 3 p.m., ET before concluding on Friday at 3 p.m. Both scrimmages are open to the public and batting practice will begin approximately one hour prior to first pitch. Friday's scrimmage will be preceded by Louisville's annual Scout Day activities.
Louisville is in its fifth week of fall workouts in preparation for the 2012 season. The Cards will conclude the fall with the annual Pizza Bowl series, which is tentatively set to be a three-game series on Oct. 13, 15 and 16. A finalized Pizza Bowl schedule will be announced next week.
About the Cardinals Led by the return of All-BIG EAST junior right-handed pitcher Justin Amlung and talented senior righty Derek Self, the Cardinals welcome back nearly the entire pitching staff and numerous position players with starting experience from last year's squad. Overall, Louisville returns 19 letterwinners from the 2011 team, which finished 32-29 overall.
Head coach Dan McDonnell enters his sixth season leading the Louisville baseball program. In his five previous seasons, McDonnell is 217-106 with two BIG EAST regular-season titles, two BIG EAST Tournament titles, four NCAA Regionals, two NCAA Super Regionals and one College World Series.
