Jackson scored 8 runs in the opening inning in downing host Louisville 10-6 Monday. Annie Woolf led the Leopards by going 2-for-2 at the plate with 3 RBI’s.

The Leopards loaded the bases with no outs in both the 4th and 6th, but managed to score only a Beatty's Sports Spring 2014 Softball Shirt 2single run. That run came when Amy Hoover drew a walk after running the count full to score Kylie Zifer. The Polar Bears ability to stop these rallies proved to be the difference in the contest.

Katie Cozy also went 3-for-3 with two doubles and scored three runs. Woolf drove in Cozy all three times.

The other two Louisville runs came in the first and last innings. In the first inning, Grace Jackson doubled to right field, was sacrificed to third via Cozy, and then took home on an overthrow. In the seventh inning, Lexi Givens singled to center scoring Cantley. Cantley also had 2 hits in the contest.

Jackson was led by Annie Danke who went 4-for-4 with an off-the-bus home run to right-center and 2 RBI’s. Lead-Off Hitter Lindsay Clemson also hit a 3-run triple in the opening inning.

The victory is the Polar Bear’s first at Louisville since 2006. Jackson now leads the all-time series 26-11. The game also marks the Leopards first opening day loss since 2008. In their previous six opening day games they had outscored opponents 60-3.
