March 07, 2020 | Softball
LOUISVILLE, Ky. –Chardonnay Harris tossed a two-hitter, Jordyn Wolfe went 3-for-3 with a run and an RBI and Carmyn Greenwood connected on a two-run double to send the University of Louisville softball team to a 3-1 win over Northwestern on day two of the Red & Black Classic at Ulmer Stadium.
The Cardinals (8-13) rallied from a 1-0 deficit, scoring two runs in the fifth and tacking on an insurance run in the sixth to back Harris, who struck out five and didn't issue a walk in a complete game effort.
Northwestern (9-12) took a 1-0 lead behind a solo home run by Danielle Williams in the second inning.
The Cardinals answered in the home half of the fifth when Wolfe led off with a double and moved to third on a groundout by freshman Jenna Servi. Madison Ciaccio earned a two-out walk to put a pair of runners on for Carmyn Greenwood's two-run double which put the Cards up 2-1.
The sixth inning brought another Louisville run when Caitlin Ferguson was hit by a pitch and scored on Wolfe's second double of the game to extend the Cardinals' lead to 3-1.
After surrendering the home run in the second, Harris and the Louisville defense retired 10 straight batters before an error and a sacrifice bunt moved a Northwestern runner into scoring position in the sixth, but the Cardinals retired the final five batters to end the game.
Danielle Williams (3-6) took the loss after surrendering three earned runs on five hits and striking out nine in 7.0 innings. She and Maeve Nelson registered the Wildcats' only hits of the game.
UofL will wrap up tournament play on Sunday when the Cards take on Illinois at 12:15 p.m. and Evansville at 4:45 p.m.
