Box Score
LOUISVILLE – The Princeton baseball team fell to the No. 4 ranked Louisville Cardinals, 9-1 at John Patterson Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Junior Nick Hernandez knocked in the only run for Princeton while senior Andres Larramendi, junior Zack Belski and freshman Jesper Horsted also had hits in the game.
The home team got on the board with two runs in its first at-bat. After a RBI double by Nick Solak, the junior came around to score on a wild pitch. The Cardinals added two more runs in the third frame on a RBI double by Brendan McKay and RBI single through the right side by Blake Tiberi. For the final out of the fourth inning, junior Paul Tupper took back a potential home run by Corey Ray as he leaped and snagged the ball over the fence.
Princeton got its run across in the fifth inning beginning with Belski leading off with a single. Two batters later, Larramendi ripped one up the middle to move Belski into scoring position. Hernandez came up with the two-out RBI single to get the Tigers on the scoresheet. In front, 4-1, Louisville received back-to-back two out RBI hits to push its lead to five in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Cardinals added two runs in the seventh and another tally in the eighth inning to wrap up the scoring.
The Cardinals and Tigers wrap up this three-game series at John Patterson Stadium tomorrow (12 p.m.). Drew Harrington will get the start for Louisville while junior Chad Powers will take the mound for Princeton.
