Louisville visited the Irish in South Bend and got two good pitching performances...one out of Brooke Gray for the win, to go 10-1 on the season...and from Jayden Gohs in relief to clinch it and get her second save credit of the season. The 8-5 UofL win tied the three game series at 1-1.
Louisville struck first in the contest when they put two on the board in the top of the first. Madison Pickens picked up two RBI's when she singled home Chelsea Mack and Bri Despines. The Irish would chip away at Cards hurler Brooke Gray for four innings, picking up runs in the second. third and fourth innings to take a 3-2 lead.
The Cards erupted for five runs in the top of the fifth. The scoring began when Easton Lotus smashed a double down the right field line that scored Chelsea Mack. Camryn Lookadoo doubled to right center to bring Lotus and Despines to the plate. Then, Madison Pickens sent one out over right field fence...scoring her and Lookadoo. That made it 7-3 UofL and the Cards just had to get nine more outs.
Notre Dame wasn't ready to leave the ball park yet, though. They homered off Gray in the bottom of the fifth, and put runners on the bags...which effectively sent the UofL pitcher to the sidelines. Anna Wise came in and got the Cards out of the fifth by allowing just two runs. Jayden Gohs got the final six outs in the sixth and seventh innings for Louisville.
UofL would add an insurance run in the top of the sixth. Easton Lotus scored from first on a Despines double.
The squads finish the series today with a 1 p.m. start .
