LOUISVILLE, Ky. – In the opening game of the 2021 University of Louisville baseball Pizza Bowl, it was Vrable's Yankees coming out with a 16-8 victory over Snider's White Sox at Jim Patterson Stadium.

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.
