Louisville's 2024 ACC Baseball Championship Schedule Announced
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville baseball program knows who they will face in pool play to start the 2024 ACC Baseball Championship, and now they know when they will be playing.
The No. 7 seeded Cardinals will kick off their run in Charlotte, N.C. against No. 11 Miami on Tuesday, May 21 at 11:00 a.m. EST. They will conclude pool play on Friday, May 24 at 3:00 p.m. with a matchup against No. 2 Clemson. All pool play games will be on the ACC Network.
Pool play will take place on Tuesday through Friday, with three games per day. Each pool will play a round robin, with the top team advancing to the semifinals. The semis will take place on Saturday, followed by the Championship on Sunday.
Louisville faced both the second-seeded Tigers and the eleventh-seeded Hurricanes during the regular season, splitting the two series and going 3-3 overall. The Cardinals claimed the first two games of their series at Miami before dropping the finale, while they lost the opener and finale to Clemson at Jim Patterson Stadium.
At this moment, Louisville is not a lock to make the NCAA Tournament. Of their ten ACC series this season, they won four and lost six, and sitting squarely on the bubble as a result
As you can imagine, the Cardinals head down to Charlotte, N.C. in need of some wins to help boost their NCAA Tournament resume. While their regular season ACC win total is traditionally just enough to get them in, their RPI of 54th is too high for a potential at-large bid.
