CreditsT he objective for every college baseball team is to reach Omaha, Nebraska and compete on the biggest stage in the game at the College World Series. The Louisville Cardinals have attained that goal five times in the last 14 seasons, including four appearances in the last eight. Since first appearing at the CWS in 2007 at Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha has served as an inte- gral part of the baseball culture at Louisville and that will continue into the 2022 season.
