NBC In Doubt for Varsity, JV Wins NBC After Games With Marlington

Louisville Leopards JV Baseball 2013

Marlington 3, Louisville 1

The Leopards NBC Title chances dimmed after falling at Marlington Saturday. With the loss Louisville is now 11-11 overall and 9-4 in the NBC.

Beatty's Sports Baseballl Shirt 2013The only Leopard run of the game came in the top of the seventh when Joey Duckworth drove in Pavin Parks via a fielder’s choice to the shortstop. Parks, who finished the evening 3-for-4 at the plate, had doubled earlier in the inning.

Parks also pitched the entire game, struck out 7, and gave up just 1 earned run. The loss is the first of the season for Parks who is now 6-1 as a Sophomore.

Louisville out-hit Marlington 8-5, but left 11 runners on base. Riley Groves also went 2-for-3 for the Leps.

With the loss, Canton South clinches at least a share of the NBC. The only way South would share the NBC is if they get swept by Alliance next week. A sweep would automatically clinch a share of the conference for both Alliance and Canton South. The Leopards could make a it a three-way share if the sweep occurs and Louisville defeats Marlington on Senior Night Thursday.
