Louisville Mounts Comeback, Walks Off Kentucky in Extra Innings
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Taking on rival Kentucky for the first leg of the annual Battle of the Bluegrass midweek series, the Louisville baseball program had to go to extras to defend their home turf, but were still able to grind out a 4-3 walk-off win on Tuesday at Jim Patterson Stadium.
Trailing 3-2 heading to the bottom of the 10th, Jake Munroe (2-4, RBI, 3B) tied the game on an RBI single, then Eddie King Jr. (2-5, 2 RBI) followed that up with one of his own. It marked Louisville’s fifth walk-off of the 2025 season.
The No. 11 Cardinals (25-7, 8-4 ACC) extend their winning streak to six in a row, and earn their first home win over the Wildcats (18-12, 5-7 SEC) since Apr. 19, 2022. These two teams will meet again on Apr. 22 at Kentucky Proud Park in Lexington, where UofL will try for their first two-game sweep of UK since 2019.
Unlike most midweek games, pitching and defense was the star of the show in this matchup. Despite allowing nine base hits and five walks, Louisville’s pitching staff still allowed only two earned runs in regulation, and struck out 12 overall.
The Cardinals also had their fair share of web gems in the field. Garret Pike (1-5) had not one, but two outfield assists from right field to third base, while Lucas Moore (1-4) robbed a home run in center field.
It made up for that fact that Louisville had a mostly pedestrian effort at the plate, as they had just two base hits in the final four innings of regulation. That being said, Alex Alicea (3-5, 2B) had a three-hit day, while King, Munroe and Zion Rose (2-5, RBI, 2B) also had multi-hit evenings.
Kentucky was the first to strike on the evening, collecting an RBI single in the second inning off of starter T.J. Schlageter (2.0 IP, 2 K, 2 BB, 3 H, 1 ER). In the bottom of the frame, Louisville tied the game up thanks to an RBI single of their own from King.
Jake Schweitzer (2.0 IP, 1 K, 1 BB, 1 H) put up a scoreless outing after Schlageter’s day was done, and Colton Hartman (1.0 IP, 1 K, 1 BB, 1 H, 1 ER) put up a zero in the fifth. This allowed the Cardinals to break the tie in the bottom of the frame, with Rose striking an RBI single.
This lead was a brief one, as Kentucky was able to tie the game back up in the very next inning. After Hartman walked the first batter of the sixth, Brennyn Cutts (1.0 IP, 1 K, 1 H) took over, and a single by the ‘Cats under his watch brought the runner home.
From there, the Cards were able to rebound from the mound. Ty Starke (0.2 IP, 1 K, 1 H) tossed the first two outs of the seventh, while Tucker Biven (1.1 IP, 2 K) secured the third to strand a runner on third, then went on to pitch a perfect eighth. Wyatt Danilowicz (1.2 IP, 4 K, 1 BB, 2 H) then struck out the side in the ninth to take the game to extras.
Louisville had a chance to win in regulation, but had a pair of base running blunders in the ninth. Tagger Tyson (0-3) was picked off at second base with no outs, while Alicea was caught trying to steal third with two outs.
Kentucky took advantage of their second chance in the 10th. After the leadoff man got on base thanks to a throwing error, a sacrifice bunt and single brought him home for the go-ahead run. UK nearly plated more, but Jack Brown (0.1 IP) was able to get Danilowicz out of a two-runner jam to set up the walk-off.
Next up for Louisville, they’ll hit the road for a three-game series at NC State. First pitch of game one is slated for Friday, Apr. 11 at 6:00 p.m. EST, and will be televised on ACC Network Extra and broadcast on 93.9 The Ville.

GRAYSON, Ky. (WSAZ) – New information has been released in the search for a missing woman at Grayson Lake.
According to game wardens with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Marly Kinney, 19, of Ashland, was last seen at Grayson Lake on Wednesday afternoon.
They say search efforts are focused on the water at this time and include Kentucky State Police aerial support, drones, boats, and K9 assistance.
Crews suspend search for missing teen for the night
The search is now into its third day, with officials saying on and off rain has hindered their search and that a group of 50 volunteers are walking the banks of the lake to help in the search.
Search and rescue boats have been seen at the lake as well.
Officials say there are still many questions, including if Kinney is still alive and where exactly she went missing.
They also say they’ve been using a variety of equipment, including sonar and thermal detectors, as well as helicopters and underwater drones.
WSAZ received a statement from Kinney’s family Friday afternoon:
“We are very appreciative of the absolute surplus of support from law enforcement, search and rescue, 1st responders, and all of the community and its volunteers that are here with us and for us searching for Marly. We do not even know how to express our absolute gratitude to you all. We continue to have faith she will be found and brought back to us. We know we have the very best people doing all they can to bring her home.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
We are still working to get more information.

On Thursday, Kentucky’s home and away SEC opponents for the 2026-27 season were revealed and on top of learning the three opponents who they will play twice, there are some very intriguing matchups. In conference play, Kentucky will face six teams who are among the top 25 in many preseason rankings.
In SEC play, Kentucky will play Tennessee, Vandy and Ole Miss all both home and away. The home matchups include Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vandy. As for the road tilts, the Wildcats will face Florida, Georgia, Mississippi State, Missouri, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee and Vandy. Let’s take a look at some interesting developments from the schedule release.
John Calipari returns to Rupp Arena (again)
In Calipari’s first year with Arkansas, he got the best of Kentucky when he came into Rupp Arena and left with a 10-point victory, a game where you could really feel the tension all game long in the building from Kentucky fans, which translated onto the court with the players. Last season, it was Kentucky who shocked everyone when they stole one on the road against a top 20 Arkansas team after a rough up-and-down season up to that point. Now, the two will face off again as Kentucky will look to get the win in Rupp and make sure Calipari doesn’t get two in a row in the building. It’ll be another highly-anticipated showdown.
Kentucky hits the road at Texas
This is shaping up to be a major challenge for Kentucky next season and may even end up being one of the biggest games of the season. Texas is seen by many as a clear top 10 team, with some even having them within the top five and when you combine that with the fact that the game is on the road, the Wildcats will have their hands full. The Wildcats fell to the longhorns in the 2024-25 season, and it’ll be a much stiffer challenge this time.
Which game could be a trap?
We don’t have the game-by-game dates yet, so it’s hard to say with a lot of confidence, but opponent-wise, Georgia could really give Kentucky fits. In Pope’s first year, his team struggled handling the physicality of the Bulldogs and now, they’ve retained one of their best guards for another year and have added physicality through the portal. Mike White’s teams love to make opponents uncomfortable and they could do that once again down in Athens. Another sneaky team to watch is Oklahoma, who will have very good guard play. Kentucky will face both teams on the road.
Overall, it’s a pretty fair SEC schedule for a Kentucky team who has the capability of a return to being atop the conference once again. Mark Pope has such a system-fit squad and he can do some damage in the SEC.
