Louisville 6, Massillon 5

The Louisville Leopards Varsity Baseball Team edged the host Massillon Tigers 6-5 Wednesday at Carl “Ducky” Schroeder Field on the campus of Washington High School. With their fourth straight victory, Louisville improves to 11-3 on the season.

The Tigers erased an early 4-run deficit to take a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning, but the Leopards re-snatched the lead in the following frame. Broc Pickens doubled to right to start the Louisville sixth and scored the game-tying run when Jonah Harsh singled to center two batters later. Harsh was replaced by pinch runner Carter Rode who took second base on a wild pitch. After a second out was recorded, Bryce Zuppe singled on a hard ground ball to center field to plate Rode for what proved to be the game winning run.

My Fit Life Personal Trainer AdCam King led the Leopards by going 3-for-4 at the dish with a 2-out, 2-run double to break the ice in the top of the second. Louisville loaded the bases and King lined the first pitch off his at-bat to right field scoring Rode and Dom Mongiardo. Davis Burick followed with an RBI single to left field scoring Zuppe. King then scored on an error by the Tiger catcher to cap off a 4-run Leopards second inning.

Louisville out-hit Massillon 10-4 for the game. Dillon Rebuck also recorded a multi-hit game for the Leopards in going 2-for-4 at the plate. WHS was led by Luke Murphy who finished 2-for-2. Heath Manson and Beau Balizet both recorded RBIs for the Tigers as well.

Andrew Gray started the game for the Leopards in going 2 1/3 innings, allowing no earned runs on 2 hits, and striking out 3. Jordan Shearer closed out the final 4 2/3 innings in striking out 4. Shearer gave up the go-ahead run in the fifth, but shut Massillon down the rest of the way to earn his fifth victory of the season.

UP NEXT: The Louisville Baseball Team will next host the same Massillon Tigers on Thursday, April 18 at 5:00 PM.
