Spring Hill 5, Louisburg 2

The Louisburg baseball team continued its long road schedule on April 2 when the Wildcats traveled to Spring Hill for a Frontier League doubleheader.

Although the Wildcats put up a fight in both games, they fell to the Broncos, 5-2 and 4-2.

The Wildcats got good starting pitching in the opener as Andrew Krause and Brandon Doles combined to allow just three earned runs in nearly six innings and gave up nine hits.

Offensively, the Wildcats just couldn’t get much going. Junior Madden Rutherford finished with a pair of RBI doubles to lead the Louisburg offense, while Beckett Rasmussen and A.J. Drew also had two hits.

Spring Hill jumped out to a 4-0 lead after four innings and never looked back.

In the nightcap, the Wildcat offense racked up 10 hits, but couldn’t the big one when they needed it. Kolby Kattau had the lone extra base hit with a double and finished with two hits for the day.

Doles and Krause also had two hits each to help the Louisburg cause and Doles drove home the Wildcats’ other run.

Logan McClellan, Maverick Rockers and Drew combined to throw six innings as they gave up three earned runs on just five hits.

Louisburg held a 2-1 lead going into the bottom of the fourth inning, but the Broncos scored two in the frame and another in the sixth to get the win.
