Whether it’s through conditioning in the Omaha Challenge, or in preseason scrimmages, McDonnell believes in creating competitive situations to give his players numerous opportu- nities to prepare for what they will see during conference and NCAA Championship games. One of the most effective ways McDonnell and his coaching staff can provide the Louisville players with those competitive, game-like situations is through the annual Pizza Bowl series. Following seven weeks of fall practice sessions, the Cardinals take to the field for what started as a one-game scrimmage in the fall of 2006 and has become an ultra competitive multi-game intra-squad series. The Pizza Bowl series has become an exciting and highly anticipated end- ing to the fall for Louisville coaches, players and fans.

Eclipse Park burned down in 1922 and Parkway Field was constructed in 1923 on the UofL campus adjacent to Eastern Park- way. The first UofL home game at Parkway was in 1924 before it became a full-time home to the Cards around 1952. The grandstand was torn down in 1961. Louisville baseball made Parkway home until 1996, when home games were moved to Derby City Field. UofL began to play a portion of its games in Old Cardinal Stadium in 1998 and made it a full- time home in the spring of 2000, when the Louis- ville Riverbats moved to Louisville Slugger Field. The spacious confines of Cardinal Stadium on the grounds of the Kentucky Exposition Center played host the Cardinal Nine for the first 20 games of the 2005 slate before the move to spectacular Jim Patterson Stadium. Parkway saw its final demise on January 15, 2005 when the “Green Monster” was torn down. Remnants of historic Parkway Field remain at Pat- terson Stadium as bricks from the wall support the lighting towers and infield dirt has been placed on the mound and plate area. Today, the Cardinals have a stadium and adja- cent facilities to call their own and are among the best in the nation.

Four Cardinals Selected in 2023 MLB Draft The Louisville Cardinals were well repre- sented once again in the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft as four players were selected. Christian Knapczyk (Round 5, Pick 161, Cleveland Guardians), Tate Kuehner (Round 7, Pick 212, Milwaukee Brewers), Ryan Hawks (Round 8, Pick 247, Seattle Mariners) and Jack Payton (Round 11, Pick 330, San Francisco Giants) were all chosen in the 20-round draft. The Cardinals have had 103 overall draft selections during Dan McDonnell’s tenure and at least three players selected in all 17 years with McDonnell at the helm. Payton Named Buster Posey Award Finalist Jack Payton capped off his junior season by being named a finalist for the Buster Posey National Collegiate Catcher of the Year Award by the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission. Payton was one of three finalists for the award and just the second Louisville player to be named a finalist for the award since its inception in 2000 following Henry Davis’ selection in 2021. Payton led the Cardinals in hitting for the second straight season in 2023, finishing the spring with a .374 batting average. He tal- lied 10 doubles and set a career-high with 12 home runs in 48 games. Payton also swiped eight bases.

The right-hander took the ball in all 14 weekends for the Cardinals, reeling off wins in seven of his first eight starts. He became the first Louisville pitcher to win his first seven decisions in a season since Kade McClure finished 12-0 in 2016. Liggett allowed two earned runs or fewer in 11 of 14 starts, includ- ing a seven-inning, one-hit, complete game shutout against Michigan in Houston. Knapczyk earned All-ACC honors for the third consecutive season after hitting .331 with eight doubles, 40 runs scored and a team-high 19 stolen bases. He joins Brendan McKay as the only Cardinals to earn three All-ACC honors since UofL joined the league in 2015.

The Cardinals earned the award after wrap- ping up their 24th consecutive semester with a team GPA of 3.0 or higher, posting a 3.449 cumulative team grade point average during the spring. McDonnell Notches Win No. 700 Louisville head coach Dan McDonnell captured the 700th win of his head coaching career in the series opener against Dayton on March 10. McDonnell became the 28th active coach to eclipse 700 Division I wins and his .709 career winning percentage is the highest of the group. He is just the ninth active coach in Division I baseball to win 700 games at his first head coaching stop and just the third to do so at a Power Five school – John Anderson (Minnesota) and Brian O’Connor (Virginia). McDonnell closed out 2023 ranked third in active winning percentage (.698 - 17 sea- sons) among coaches that have coached at least five seasons at the Division I level. Dur- ing McDonnell’s tenure, the Cardinals have made five College World Series appearances, captured 11 conference titles and reached the postseason 13 times.

Louisville cruised past No. 12 Texas A&M, 14-5, before defeating No. 10 TCU, 3-2, and wrapped up the weekend with a 10-0 victory in just seven innings against Michigan. The Cards were dominant in every facet over the three games, outscoring opponents 27-7, while Louisville’s three starting pitch- ers (Ryan Hawks, Greg Farone and Carson Liggett) combined to allow just one run in 20 innings of work.

The Cardinals posted a 3.449 team GPA during the spring semester, extending its streak that dates back to 2011.
