Leopards Draw 3rd Seed, Will Host Fairless May 11
The Louisville Leopards boys baseball team drew the #3 Seed in the DII Canton District Baseball Tournament Draw early Sunday afternoon. The Leopards will host the #7 seeded Fairless Falcons in the Sectional Final on Friday, May 11 at 4:30 PM. Each team earned a bye in the sectional semifinals.
According to Leopard Nation’s records, the last time Louisville and Fairless met was in the 1997 season with the Leopards victorious by a count of 12-7. We have no other records of the two teams ever meeting since 1990.
If Louisville defeats Fairless they will take on either #2 Alliance, #6 Coventry, or #9 Norton. Louisville defeated Coventry 8-2 in the Sectional Finals last season on May 14, 2011 and we have no record of Louisville ever playing Noton. The Leopards and Aviators split their NBC meetings this year with Louisville winning 1-0 at Alliance and Alliance winning at Louisville 11-4.
