West Branch 2, Louisville 0

The Louisville Leopards Varsity Baseball team was blanked by the host West Branch Warriors 2-0 Tuesday at West Branch High School. With the loss, Louisville falls to 1-1 overall and 0-1 in league play.

He was out-done only by Warriors Starter Alazaus who pitched a complete game, 2-hit shutout in striking out 11.

West Branch broke the deadlock in the third inning when Goode reached on error scoring Schroeder from second base. The only other run of the contest came in the fifth when Hedrick’s sacrifice squeeze brought in Steele from third.

Tyler Adams and Corey White had the only hits for the Leopards. Louisville has now dropped their last 4 meetings at West Branch overall.
