WEDNESDAY'S SCORES
@#6 Louisville 20, Morehead State 2
#6 LOUISVILLE 20, MOREHEAD STATE 2
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - If baseball lasted just four-and-a-half innings, then the Morehead State baseball team would be looking pretty good and tied with No. 6 Louisville 2-2, but unfortunately the game goes nine frames and the Cardinals scored 18 times in the fifth through eighth innings for a 20-2 win over the Eagles at Jim Patterson Stadium Wednesday.
The Eagles fell to 5-4 and will now look forward to their home-opening weekend against Bowling Green.
Senior rightfielder Will Schneider and sophomore designated hitter Trevor Snyder each extended hitting streaks to six games, while Schneider and sophomore catcher Hunter Fain increased their reached-base streaks to 14 and 17 games, respectively. Sophomore shortstop Reid Leonard and sophomore leftfielder Niko Hulsizer upped their reached-base streaks to nine, while junior second baseman Braxton led Morehead State with a 2-for-3 performance at the plate to move his reached-base streak to seven outings in a row.
The Eagles utilized 16 position players and six pitchers. Starter Dalton Stambaugh (0-1) was charged with the loss after allowing four earned runs in 4.1 innings of work.
Louisville slammed four home runs, two doubles and a triple. Morehead State scored once in the third on Hulsizer's single. Senor centerfielder Ryan Kent grounded out in the fifth to account for the the other tally.
