The Louisville Leopards Varsity Softball Team was edged by the host Youngstown Ursuline Fighting Irish 2-1 Wednesday Evening at the Youngstown State Softball Complex. With their fourth straight loss, Louisville drops to 2-5 on the season.

Box Score

Collins Drives In Leopards Lone Run

Senior first baseman Jenna Collins hit a 1-out single to right field in the top of the fourth that scored sophomore third baseman Kenzi Denzer to tie the game at 1-1. Denzer drew a patient 9-pitch walk to start the inning before taking second base on a passed ball. Collins delivered after that for the Lady Leopards.

Louisville would fail to score in the other six innings and was limited to just four hits for the evening. Freshman left fielder Matti Adams, Denzer, and sophomore center fielder Brooke Haren also recorded singles throughout the contest.

Ogden Fans 10 to Lead Ursuline

Youngstown Ursuline starting pitcher Paige Ogden threw a complete game, gave up 0 earned runs on 4 hits, and struck out 10 to earn the victory in the circle. Ogden retired the first nine Leopards she faced, which included striking out four batters in a row. Ogden finished just as strong as she started retiring the final six LHS hitters she went up against.

Ogden gave herself an early lead win the bottom of the first. Her sacrifice fly to center field brought home centerfielder Alyssa Sheely from third to put the Fighting Irish in front 1-0. 

Fedor Drives In Go-Ahead Run in 6th

Ursuline’s next run wouldn’t come until the bottom of the sixth inning. Right fielder Ayva Fedor hit a 1-out single to left field that scored the go-ahead run in second baseman Layni Bednar to make it 2-1.

The Fighting Irish out-hit the Leopards 7-4 for the game. Left fielder Mia Opalick led all hitters by batting a perfect 2-for-2 at the dish.
