Zion Rose dropped in an opposite field single down the right-field line to drive in Jake Munroe and Eddie King Jr. to give Louisville a 4-3 lead in the eighth inning. Munroe led off the eighth by reaching on an error by Arizona shortstop Mason White. King and Tague Davis followed with consecutive singles, setting up Rose's RBI hit.

The 2025 College World Series continued on Sunday, featuring two important clashes in Bracket 1. In the first matchup, Louisville eliminated Arizona from the tournament with an impressive 8-3 victory in Omaha. No. 13 Coastal Carolina is also set to take on No. 8 Oregon State as both teams attempt to remain in the winner's bracket.

For seven innings on Sunday, it appeared that Louisville’s bid for its first national championship in program history was destined to come to a quiet end. Fortunately for the Cardinals -- who hadn’t won a game at the Men’s College World Series since 2019 -- that was not the case.
