October 06, 2021 | Baseball
The White Sox plated 11 runs on their way to tying up the series.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Snider's White Sox used a big sixth inning to pick up an 11-7 victory in game two of the University of Louisville baseball program's 2021 Pizza Bowl series Wednesday at Jim Patterson Stadium.
The series is now even at one apiece with game three set for Saturday at 11 a.m. ET.
Trailing 7-5, Tyeler Hawkins tied the game up with a two-run shot onto the berm in left-centerfield. Cameron Masterman put the White Sox in front with a two-run double later in the inning and Will Cook capped the six-run frame with a RBI single to right.
Kaleb Corbett came on and slammed the door shut with a 1-2-3 seventh to secure the win.
Usher, Masterman and Cook led the way for the White Sox, combining to go 7-for-12 with seven RBIs. Usher launched a long home run to right in the fifth to go along with a run-scoring double in the first.
JT Benson was 2-for-3 at the plate and reached three times for the Yankees, scoring three of their seven runs. Isaac Humphrey and Ben Metzinger each drove in a pair of runs.
ABOUT THE PIZZA BOWL
Upon his hiring as Louisville head coach in the summer of 2006, Dan McDonnell immediately created an atmosphere of competition throughout the Cardinals baseball program. Whether it's through conditioning in the Omaha Challenge, or in preseason scrimmages, McDonnell creates competitive situations to give his players numerous opportunities to prepare for what they will see during conference and postseason games.
One of the most effective ways McDonnell and his coaching staff can provide the Louisville players with those competitive, game-like situations is through the annual Pizza Bowl series. Following approximately six weeks of fall practice sessions, the Cardinals take to the field for what started as a one-game scrimmage in the fall of 2006 and has become an ultra-competitive three-game or five-game intra-squad series. The Pizza Bowl series has become an exciting and highly anticipated ending to the fall for Louisville coaches, players and fans.
