LOUISVILLE'S LATE INNING HEROICS BEAT UK SOFTBALL IN LEXINGTON.
The Cards were looking at a 6-3 deficit going into the top of the seventh inning, found a way to tie it and then push ahead for the win two innings later.
Tied at 2-2 after two innings after UK and UofL traded two run homers...the Cards getting theirs from Taylor Monroe...Louisville pushed ahead 3-2 in the top of the third but then let UK take a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the inning.
The Cats would score in the third and sixth and Louisville went into the top of the seventh three outs away from another loss in Lexington to the Cats. This Louisville squad wasn't ready to head I-64 West yet, though, and Chelsea Mack and easton Lotus began the uinning with back-to-back singles. and Bri Despains cleared the bags with a three bagger. It was 6-5 and the Cards were making late noise in Wildcat Country. Camryn Lookadoo singled home Despains and the Cards had tied it a 6-6.
Extra innings ensued and Brooke Gray went to the circle for the visitors to John Cropp Stadium. She pitched her way out of a base loaded jam in the eight and the Cards put the winning two runs on the scoreboard in the ninth when, after Despines walked and Lookaoo double...a Pickens single plated both and the Cards had regained a 8-9 lead. U would get a two out fence clearer in the bottom of the ninth. but the Cards got the final out andd the "W" in Lexington.
he Cards host Georgia Tech next for three games and will play the first one at 5 p.m. Friday.
