The Louisville Lady Leopards blew past the host Alliance Aviators 15-1 in 5 Innings Thursday Evening at Union Title Field. With the victory, Louisville evens their overall record at 4-4 and stays an unbeaten 4-0 in NBC play.

At the plate, Emily Cantley led Louisville by batting 3-for-4 with a 2-Run Homer, 2 runs scored, and 4

Katie Cozy also batted 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, 3 runs scored, and 3 runs batted in for Louisville. Peyton McKeever & Savannah Miner also each had a double & 3 RBIs, and Aliyah English hit a 2-run double for the Lady Leps. Louisville finished 16 of 33 at the plate as a team.
With the victory, the Lady Leopards have now downed the Lady Aviators 11 straight times, including their last 6 meetings at Alliance. Louisville now leads the all-time series 19-5 and is 9-3 when playing at AHS. The Lady Leps have now also won 56 straight conference games.
