Gallery: Louisville Baseball Opens Practice

While the temps were bitter outside, they were spring-like inside as the nationally-ranked Louisville baseball took to the indoors to start team practice for the 2013 season.

Fresh off of receiving a top 5 national ranking by Baseball America on Thursday, the Louisville Cardinal baseball team began practice for the 2013 season on Friday afternoon.

The Cardinals will open their season on February 15 against Indiana at the Big East/Big 10 Challenge in Florida. U of L will host Eastern Kentucky on February 20 for it's home opener at Jim Patterson Stadium.
