EKU SOFTBALL JUMPS EARLY ON CARDS FOR 6-2 WIN
Louisville Softball surrendered six runs early yesterday and could not make up the deficit in a loss in Richmond, KY to Eastern Kentucky University Tuesday afternoon. Cards freshman Brooke Gray (3-4) got the midweek start for the visitors, but was met with six runs on four hits in the bottom of the second.
Meanwhile, at the plate, the Cards were stifled early in the game, but did try to mount a couple of rally attempts to get back in the contest late in the contest.
The first one occured in the top of the sixth, when the Cards loaded the bases with just one out. Kiley Goff beat out a infield grounder for a single and Daisy Hess reached on a slow throw on a fielders choice. Chelsea Mack delivered a single to load the bases for Lousville, but EKU ace Maddi Rutan (19-2) got a pop out and received a spectacular fielding stop from EKU second baseman Madison Scott to end the Cardinals threat.
The Cards would also threaten again in the seventh and plate their first runs of the contest when Bailee Richardson reached on a single and came home on Maddi Grant's home run to center. The Cards left the scoring there,,though, with a line out and a fly out,
Louisville (24-19) returns to conference play Friday, when they travel to North Carolina.
A tough road loss to a surprisingly good EKU squad, that has a sparkling 33-5 record
