Cards Drop CWS Opener To Vanderbilt

For the third time in as many appearances, the Louisville baseball team has dropped its College World Series opener.

The Cards attempted to rally from a 4-run deficit, but ultimately fell 5-3 to rival Vanderbilt. U of L will now look to snap a 4-game losing streak in Omaha by beating Texas in an elimination game on Monday at 3 p.m. The Commodores will face UC Irvine in the winner's bracket later that day at 8 p.m.

Catcher Kyle Gibson U of L at the plate by going 2-for-5 with one RBI, while junior shortstop Sutton Whiting added an RBI triple and scored once.

More from Omaha in a bit.
