LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Georgia Tech used a flurry of late-inning offense to beat the University of Louisville softball team 17-5 and even the ACC series Saturday evening at Ulmer Stadium. The loss snaps Louisville's nine-game win streak.

The Cardinals (17-9, 1-1 ACC) and the Yellow Jackets (17-9, 1-7 ACC) will meet in the rubber game Sunday at 12 p.m.

Carmyn Greenwood went 3-for-4 with a triple, a run and an RBI to lead Louisville at the plate while Taylor Roby connected on her team-best ninth home run of the season and drove in a pair of runs.

The teams played through four scoreless innings before Georgia Tech broke through with three runs in the fifth.

The Cardinals answered in the home half of the fifth when Korbe Otis reached on a fielder's choice and Kendall Smith walked to set up Vanessa Miller's two-run single, pulling Louisville within a run.

The Yellow Jackets used four hits, a walk and an error to plate six more runs in the sixth inning and extend the lead to 9-2.

Louisville countered again in the bottom of the sixth starting with a leadoff single by Jenna Servi followed by Greenwood's RBI triple. One out later, Roby crushed her team-best ninth homer of the season to make the score 9-5.

The seventh inning brought eight more Georgia Tech runs, putting the game out of reach.

Roby (7-4) took the loss after giving up three earned runs on five his and striking out six in 4.2 innings of work.
