The University of Louisville baseball program has released its schedule for the 15th annual Pizza Bowl, which is set to begin on Friday at 6 p.m., ET at Jim Patterson Stadium.
 
The series continues with game two on Saturday at 11 a.m., ET before a midweek contest on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 6 p.m., ET. The final two games of the series will be played Oct. 16 and Oct. 17 starting at 6 p.m. and noon, respectively.
 
Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, fans will not be allowed inside Jim Patterson Stadium during the Pizza Bowl. Coverage of the Pizza Bowl will be announced later this week.
 
ABOUT THE PIZZA BOWL
Upon his hiring as Louisville head coach in the summer of 2006, Dan McDonnell immediately created an atmosphere of competition throughout the Cardinals baseball program. Whether it’s through conditioning in the Omaha Challenge, or in preseason scrimmages, McDonnell creates competitive situations to give his players numerous opportunities to prepare for what they will see during conference and postseason 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 approximately six 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 three-game or five-game intra-squad series. The Pizza Bowl series has become an exciting and highly anticipated ending to the fall for Louisville coaches, players and fans.
