Le Ducq (1-0) then entered and struck out Morgan Bojorquez and enticed Fernando Isa to hit to a force out.
The southpaw from Santa Rosa, Calif., went 4.2 innings striking out five and walking one while scattering four hits. Gavin Garrick came and tossed the final two frames for his first relief outing of the season after being the No. 3 starter in the rotation the last two weeks. Louisville was outhit 12-8. Budak and Jarboe each had two hits for Louisville.
Hawaii would take the lead for good in the bottom of the third as Patrick Scalabrini singled to left, stole second, and scored on Gregg Omori's double to center. Carlos Fernandez (0-1) then relieved Cardinal starter Garrett Estabrook who went just 2.1 innings striking out three and walking two.
