Down 6-0, Softball slugs back for 7-6 win at Clemson
For awhile, it looked like Louisville Softball was going to get beat on Sunday. The Tigers put six runs on the Cards in five innings and Louisville was running out of chances. Someone forget to tell UofL that it was over, though.
UofL rallied for a five-run sixth inning to get within one at 6-5 and then plated two more runs in the top of the seventh to go up 7-6 and hold on for salvage a win in the weekend series.
Louisville (20-7) look flat and listless under the sixth inning explosion.
Chelsea Mack got the inning underway with a bunt single to start the inning. after Bri Despines was sent to the dugout, looking at a third strike, Taylor Monore singled and the Cards had runners o the corners. Camryn Lookadoo sent a double to deep center that scored Mack and Monroe. Madison Pickens singled home Lookadoo and Clemson decided it was time for a change in the circle. The Tigers got a second out, but Ava Ventureli sent a ball out of McWhorter Stadium over the left center fence. It was now 6-5 and the Cards were flapping their wings. After Brooke Gray retired the Tigers with no runs , Louisville returned to bat in the top of the seventh. Mack ground out to start the inning but despines got a base on balls.
After Clemson got an openng single in the home half of the inning...they had a infield pop up out and two fly outs...one to center and one to right field.
After one out in the seventh the cards a Lookadoo triple that scored Despines and she scored on a Pickens single to put the Cards up 7-6.
