CARDS SOFTBALL DOWN CAVS 9-4 TO TAKE SERIES
It was Carmyn Greenwood last appearance in Ulmer Stadium and she made the most of it.
Starting the game with a home run, Greenwood went 3-3 on the the afternoon, adding a double and triple to her one-woman wrecking crew assault on the Wahoos. She scored three runs, drove in two and made a spectacular assortment of catches and throws in left field in the Cards 9-4 win. She probably even drove the UVA squad to the airport after the game and made sure they boarded the flight home safely
Louisville unloaded for ten hits against an assortment of UVA pitchers, including a three RBI, round-tripper from Korbe Otis in the fourth inning that put the Cards ahead to stay at 6-3. Doubles from Kendall Smith, Hannah File and Dylann Cravens also boosted the Cards attack, who go to 26-21 on the season and 10-11 in ACC play.
It was "T-and-T" in the circle for the Cards -- Taylor Roby getting the start and going 3.2 innings before giving way to Taja Felder, who gets the win while allowing just three hits and one run in 3.1 innings of relief work.
A fitting way to end the 2022 season ending home-stand for the Cards, who will travel to Notre Dame for three next weekend, after stopping off to play UIC on Wednesday. Louisville is currently in seventh place in the ACC and could, conceivably climb to sixth in the conference standings with a sweep of the Irish on Derby weekend and some losses by the teams above them in the conference race.

JAZ JONES RELEASED BY FEVER
It's always a bit of sad news when any of our former Cardinals student-athletes get waived or released from a professional franchise, and we learned Saturday afternoon that Cardinal Forever Jazmine Jones was released from the Indiana Fever.
One would think that a player like Jaz won't be on the sidelines long and get added to another WNBA roster.
We wish her the best of luck and feel certain we haven't seen the last of her yet.

Glad to see that power game out of the softball team. Hope it doesn't disappear at Notre Dame.
ReplyDeleteJaz is competing against a lot of really good shooting guards in the league. Maybe a step behind them in skills. I hope someone picks her up.
Awesome stuff from Greenwood! She's so valuable to this team and hate to see her go.
