Murray Tosses Shutout Against Northwestern
In a seemingly effortless performance, Brian Murray of the Louisville Cardinals shot down the Northwestern Wildcats, 15-0, on 5 hits.

"Brian was just locating so well and using his pitches," Louisville manager Casey Lounsbury said later. "He wasn't leaving anything over the plate."

Murray recorded 7 strikeouts and no walks in a strong outing.

"When he needed to make pitches, he elevated his game," Northwestern manager Damien Haling said in postgame comments to BNN. "We couldn't get a key hit off him."

So far this season, Murray has a 5-3 record with a 1.91 ERA.
