Burick’s 7th Inning Single Lifts Louisville Past Central – Baseball
Louisville 3, Canton Central Catholic 2
The Louisville Leopards nipped the host Canton Central Catholic Crusaders 3-2 Tuesday Evening at Central Catholic High School. With victory, Louisville improves to 17-7 on the season.
Davis Burick delivered on a 2-out, RBI single to center field scoring Bryce Zuppe in the top of the seventh inning to put LHS ahead 3-2. Zuppe singled with one out and then stole second to put himself into scoring position for what proved to be the winning run for the Leopards.
Louisville out-hit Central 7-3 for the game. Both Austin Cummings and Zuppe went 2-for-3 with a double each to lead the Leopards.
Zuppe doubled on the first pitch of the game and then scored two pitches later when Cam King singled him in to give Louisville an early first inning lead. After Central knotted the game at 1-1, Cummings singled to lead-off the top of the third. The next two batters were retired, but Burick reached on an error in the next at-bat which allowed Cummings to score from second to put the Leopards back in front 2-1.
On the mound, Starting Pitcher Jordan Shearer threw 5 1/3 innings, gave up 2 earned runs on 3 hits, and struck out 3. Andrew Gray pitched 1 2/3 innings in relief of hitless and scoreless baseball to earn the decision. Gray is now 7-2 on the season.
The Crusaders (17-4) also got a valiant effort on the mound from Drew Hallgren who pitched a complete game, gave up 2 earned runs on 7 hits, and fanned 8. Central was led on offense by Zach Wassil who batted 2-for-4 with an RBI and scored a run. Calvin Burns had the only other RBI and Brad Kling recorded the only other hit for the Crusaders in the game.
UP NEXT: The Louisville Baseball Team will next travel to face the Green Bulldogs on Thursday, May 9 at 5:00 PM. JV and Freshman will host the Bulldogs at the same time.
