Baseball Senior Night Spoiled by Lions 4-1
Minerva 4, Louisville 1
The Louisville Leopards Varsity Baseball team had their Senior Night spoiled by the visiting Minerva Lions 4-1 Thursday at the Field of Dreams. With the loss, Louisville drops to 11-15 overall and 8-5 in the NBC.
Cam White used a sacrifice fly to bring home Stephen Kerzan in the bottom of the sixth for the Leopards only run. Kerzan tripled to start the inning and finished 2-for-2 to lead the Louisville offense. Nick Harsh also finished with 2 hits at the dish for the Leopards.
Starter Jake Adams (4-3) pitched 5 2/3 innings, gave up 1 earned run on 5 hits, and struck out 2 on the hill for Louisville.
Connor Wright finished 2-for-3 with an RBI single in the fifth to lead Minerva. Jack Hanley also cracked a 2-run single in the sixth inning and Shane Walters also drove in a run in the seventh for the Lions.
The win is Minerva’s first at Louisville since the visiting Lions downed the Leopards 6-5 back on April 30, 2002. Louisville had won the previous 14 meetings at home against Minerva coming into the game. The Leopards have taken 26 out of the last 30 meetings overall against the Lions, but Minerva has won the last two. The two teams will rematch on the Lions turf tomorrow.
UP NEXT: The Leopards will next travel to Minerva to take on the Lions on Friday, May 13 at 5:00 PM. JV will be Home during the same time.
