Louisville Named CBI
Team of the Week
After putting together a 4-0 week and winning its first Big East
regular-season title, Louisville has been named the CollegeBaseballInsider.com
Team of the Week.
The Cardinals started the week with a 10-2 victory Tuesday at Sun
Belt-leader Western Kentucky. Louisville would host first-place USF for its
final conference series, needing a sweep to claim the crown. The Cardinals eked
out a 2-1 win on Thursday and swept a Friday doubleheader by the scores of 4-3
and 12-1 to climb to the top of the Big East standings. Louisville improved to
40-14 overall and 19-7 in the Big East.
Honorable mention goes to Wagner, which defeated New York Tech
and swept a four-game series from Fairleigh Dickinson to claim its first
Northeast Conference regular-season title. Missouri State, last week’s CBI Team
of the Week, swept a three-game MVC set from first-place Indiana State to extend
its win streak to seven and win the regular-season crown. Oklahoma took three
from No. 16 Texas A&M to climb to second in the Big 12 standings. South Carolina
took two from USC Upstate before sweeping three from No. 19 Georgia. Army beat
Lafayette twice to win the Patriot League championship. Bethune-Cookman won its
three tournament games to claim the MEAC title. Ole Miss swept a three-game
series from No. 20 Arkansas. UAB took two of three from No. 6 Rice. East
Carolina won at UNC Wilmington before taking three from Memphis to win the
Conference USA regular-season title. Defending national champion Fresno State
swept a four-game set at Sacramento State to ensure a place in the WAC
Tournament. UC Irvine bounced back from a loss to San Diego to sweep a
three-game series from UC Davis to secure its first Big West championship.
Middle Tennessee rebounded from a loss to Tennessee to defeat Western Kentucky
twice and win the Sun Belt regular-season crown.
