SERIES HISTORY
Louisville holds a 20-5 edge in the all-time series against Boston College, including nine consecutive victories over the last three seasons. The Cardinals took all three games in their last trip to Brighton and are 6-3 all-time at Boston College.
TEAM NOTES
- UofL is 55-32-2 in its 89 all-time ACC series (one series ended 1-1, one ended 1-1-1) since joining the league and is 60-26-1 in its series finales during that span, including a 21-14-1 record in rubber games.
- The Louisville offense currently ranks top 25 nationally in batting average, hits, on-base percentage, runs, runs per game, slugging percentage, stolen bases and triples.
- Louisville has notched double digit hits 26 times this season, including 12 of the past 16 games.
- The Cardinals have been hit by a pitch 61 times this season, the second-most in the ACC.
PLAYER NOTES
- Zion Rose has been a catalyst in Louisville's lineup as a freshman, especially in ACC play. Rose leads all ACC hitters with a .425 batting average in conference play and ranks second with a .500 on-base percentage. He leads the Cardinals in average, hits, runs, triples, total bases and on-base percentage in ACC play.
- Dylan Hoy has been scorching hot over the last 10 games. The senior saw his average dip to .288 following the game on April 13, but has gone 17-for-38 (.447) in the last 10 contests to add 51 points to his average. Hoy has scored 15 runs and driven in eight during that stretch.
- Isaac Humphrey has very quietly had a strong senior campaign at the plate. Humphrey hit just .250 through his first 10 games of the season with just one home run and four RBIs. In the 29 games since, he's hitting .357 with eight doubles, six homers and 29 RBIs. Humphrey has Louisville's second-best batting average in ACC action at .338.
- JT Benson continues to lead Louisville' charge on the basepaths, leading the ACC and ranking sixth nationally with 29 stolen bases. The senior swiped a career-high four bases in the win over Virginia on April 13 and is 13-for-14 in conference play. Benson is just one shy of becoming the 10th player in program history to swipe 30 bags in a season.
- Gavin Kilen has taken his offensive production to another level during his sophomore season. Kilen is hitting .357 with 29 extra-base hits, leading the Cardinals in hits, doubles, RBIs and total bases. Kilen did not hit a home run in his first 57 collegiate games before tallying his first against Morehead State and homering five times in a eight-game stretch. He hit for the cycle in the series opener against Virginia Tech, becoming the first Cardinal to do so since Alex Binelas in 2019. Kilen is leading the ACC in doubles, sixth in triples, and ranks top 15 in batting average and total bases.
- Evan Webster had made just three starts in his career prior to this season. The southpaw has started every weekend in 2024 for the Cardinals, ranking second on the team in innings pitched and strikeouts. Webster has been especially strong in four road starts this season, allowing just three earned runs in 21 innings against UConn, Wake Forest, Florida State and Miami. Webster owns 79 career appearances, tied for the eighth-most in program history.
