Runs came at a premium down in the “black hole” of Carrollton, but Louisville managed to break the ice in the top of the fourth. Sydney McKeever drew a lead-off walk and stole second on the next pitch. Kaycee Ollis knocked her home two batters later with an RBI single to center to give the Leopards the 1-0 edge.
Ollis increased the Louisville cushion with a 2-run triple in the fifth. Teagan Rice and McKeever both came home on the line drive to right field. Ollis and Rice both finished 2-for-4 at the dish. Savannah Miner and Lexi Zavarelle had the other base hits for the Leopards in the game.
