After walking the lead-off batter, Hughes said Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Night to the next three Aviators hitters to clinch the win.
Hughes also singled home Zach Shea in the second inning for the only other Louisville RBI. Zwick scored the other Leopards run in the opening inning via an error.
