Rice’s Clutch Triple Lifts Lady Leps Past Carrollton 6-4
Louisville 6, Carrollton 4
It wasn’t easy. This seems to be the case every time Louisville takes on Carrollton. However, the Lady Leopards pulled it out when it counted to take the game 6-4 over the Warriors and jump out to a 2-0 start in NBC play.
Chandler Rice hit a two-run triple in the top of the seventh and Brittany Flanigan closed out the deal 1-2-3 in the bottom of the inning to pick up her third win of the season for the Lady Leps
Flanigan also had three hits and Katie Cozy added 2 more for the now 4-0 Lady Leopards.

The Lady Leps are 4-18 against Perry all-time, but swept them in a doubleheader last season 4-3 (10 innings) and 6-5. View the Louisville Vs. Perry Softball 2011 Story, Video, and Pictures
JV REPORT
Louisville 36, Carrollton 5, 4 Innings
Casey Corrigan and Kassidy Lowden each hit home runs as the Lady Leopards JV squad pummeled Carrollton 36-5. The game was called after four innings. The Warriors JV squad has now given up 62 runs in the past two games (lost to West Branch Tuesday 26-22). For Louisville, the 36 runs could quite possibly be a record. I have researched mainly Varsity, but I don’t believe I have ever seen any Leopard Squad score that many runs. With further research I will be able to confirm this.
- For those interested, Varsity’s biggest win on record came on April 1, 1998 when the Lady Leps trounced Canton Timken 29-0 in 5 innings.
