Leopards Break Up Shutout in 7th, But Panthers Prevail 7-1 – Baseball
Perry 7, Louisville 1
The Louisville Leopards Varsity Baseball Team fell to the host Perry Panthers 7-1 Friday Night on the campus of Perry High School. With the loss, Louisville falls to 17-6 on the season.
The Leopards pushed across their only run of the game with 2 outs in the top of the seventh. Austin Cummings walked earlier to start the frame, advanced to second on a passed ball, and then advanced to third after back-to-back free passes given to the next two Louisville batters. An error by the catcher allowed Cummings to score from third to remove the goose egg.
Perry Starting Pitcher Carter Lucas earned the victory by pitching 4 scoreless inning, giving up just 3 hits, and striking out 6. Zach Blackiston pitched the final three frames without surrendering a hit, gave up the one unearned run, and struck out 5.
Jackson Kandel, Dillon Rebuck, and Bryce Zuppe had the only 3 hits for Louisville. Dom Mongiardo also worked a scoreless inning and struck out 1 on the mound.
The Panthers (6-10) were led by Ryan Thompson who batted 2-for-3 with a pair of triples, an RBI, and 2 runs scored. Blackiston also went 2-for-4 with a triple and 2 RBIs, Kasey Centeno had a pair of hits and scored a pair of runs, and Bryce Warwick had an RBI Double. Both Justin Blythe and Lucas drove in runs as well.
