Redbird Softball Falls to Louisville, 1-0

After splitting the first day of the Red and Black Classic, the Illinois State softball team concluded the tournament today with a 1-0 loss to tournament host Louisville. The Cardinals took the lead in the bottom of the third with a homerun over the right-center field wall, hit by Michelle Vasquez. Redbird pitcher Audra Rast hurled nine strikeouts, but her overall record fell to 3-6. The Redbirds out-hit the Cardinals 3-to-1, but were unable to get runners across home plate. Illinois State left six runners on base. Redbird freshman Tricia Gaither and sophomore Lauren Bierwirth each went 1-for-3, while sophomore Dominique Borba was 2-for-3. Illinois State falls to 7-10 overall and will return to action on Tuesday, March 11 in Bloomington, Ind., as they take on the Hoosiers of the Big Ten. --##--
