LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Louisville baseball coach Dan McDonnell has agreed to a new contract that will keep him with the Cardinals through the 2025-26 season.
McDonnell, 45, had five years remaining on his current deal before receiving the new contract that adds five more seasons. He is 453-189 in 10 years with the Cardinals, a successful tenure highlighted by nine NCAA Tournament berths and three College World Series appearances - including two in the past three seasons.
