It was smooth sailing for eight innings for UK’s pitching on Tuesday, but the ninth and tenth innings doomed the Cats as they lost 2-1 in extra innings to No. 3 Louisville.
UK freshman first baseman Evan White singled home Connor Heady in the bottom of the third inning to give UK its only run of the game. The score remained 1-0 for eight innings as left-handers Logan Salow and Dylan Dwyer combined to shut the Cardinals down, allowing only one hit in that span.
However, the ninth inning was a different story.
Dwyer walked Louisville pinch hitter Danny Rosenbaum at the start of the frame.
