Xavier tops baseball 5-4 in extra innings

By Micah Brown —

In its second extra-inning game of the season, baseball (5-3) fell to Xavier (2-5) by a score of 5-4.

Runs were traded back-and-forth throughout the contest, as Louisville matched Xavier’s scoring every time the Musketeers took the lead. Xavier won the matchup with a run in the top of the tenth, as the Cardinals failed to counter in the bottom of the inning.

“We got to their starter in the first (inning) and they got to ours, but both pitchers settled in,” head coach McDonnell said, referring to Xavier only using two pitchers throughout the game.
