NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Ethan Eberle had 11 strikeouts, Eddie King Jr. and Alex Alicea had two RBIs apiece on Sunday night to help Louisville beat Wright State 6-0 to sweep the Nashville Regional.
Louisville advanced to the super regionals for the 10th time in program history, including five consecutive trips from 2013-17. The Cardinals had missed the postseason in three of the past four seasons, including each of the last two.
Eberle (6-2) gave up two hits with three walks over 6 1/3 scoreless innings. Wyatt Danilowicz struck out four in 2 2/3 no-hit innings for his third save of the season.
Lucas Moore led off the game with a single, moved to third on a double by Matt Klein and Zion Rose drew a four-pitch walk to load the bases. King hit a double to the gap to give the Cardinals a 2-0 lead.
Klein had an RBI single in the fifth, Neighbors added a run-scoring double in the sixth and Alicea's two-run single in the eighth capped the scoring.
Wright State beat No. 1 national seed Vanderbilt 5-4 in a loser-out game earlier Sunday. Louisville sent the Commodores to the loser's bracket with a 3-2 win on Saturday.
