Baseball and Softball Lifted by Sixth Inning Clinics

BASEBALL

Louisville 12, Northwest 5

Since the distasteful end of basketball season, the Leopards had been waiting for this day.  With the game tied 3-3 at the end of the fifth, the Louisville boys baseball team  made their final trip to Canal Fulton a memorable one.  The Leopards (1-0, 1-0) unleashed their revenge on the Indians (0-1, 0-1) in the form of an 8-run sixth inning, before cruising to a 12-5 victory over their hated rivals.  Riley Groves led Louisville by going 2-for-3 with a double and recording 5 RBIs.
