CARDS HIT EARLY AND OFTEN IN THE BATTLE OF EASTERN PARKWAY
On a picture perfect night for softball on the Belknap campus. Louisville Softball touched Bellarmine for six runs in the first two innings and got the 10-2 win in the Battle of Eastern Parkway -- softball style.
Bri Despines drove in Chelsea Mack and Easton Lotus with a first inning single to get the Cards on the board and a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Bellarmine responded with a Kendall Gaddie home run in the top of the second to cut the Cards lead in half...but Louisville struck back with four second inning runs...Easton Lotus' two RBI triple being the big hit in the inning. It was 6-1 and UofL was definitely in control of the contest.
The Knights would be held scoreless in the top half of the thrd and fourth innings, and the Cards would add three runs in the the bottom of the fourth, to build a 9-1 lead.

Bellarmine did get their second home run of the contest in the top of the fifth inning to make it 9-2 but Louisville would get the run rule game ender in the bottom of the fifth...with Chelsea Mack singling home Jordan Williams for the 10-2 final score.
And, so..the Cards improve to a 4-2 mark on the season. Jayden Gohs gets the win to go 1-0 on the season in three innings of work. Ryann Sanders pitched two innings of relief.
Next up, Louisville heads to Fort Myers, FL for another early season tournament...facing Buffalo in their opener on Friday, Feb 20th.
