LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Miami University baseball team outhit 11th-ranked Louisville 6-5 on Tuesday, but four errors and seven walks helped the Cardinals take a 6-1 victory. The RedHawks fall to 18-5 on the season, while Louisville improves to 19-6.

Miami got on the board first with a run in the top of the second. Junior shortstop Will Vogelgesang reached second base after the Louisville left fielder dropped a fly ball. A double down the right field line by senior right fielder Mackay Williams brought him home and made it 1-0 in favor of the RedHawks.

Two hits, an error and four walks allowed the Cardinals to score four runs in the bottom of the second to take the lead. Junior pitcher Nick Urbantke came into the game and pitched well in relief, allowing only three hits in four innings, but a pair of errors in the bottom of the fourth scored two for Louisville and completed the scoring for the night.

Junior third baseman Landon Stephens and junior first baseman Charlie Harrigan both finished 2-for-4 for Miami, each hitting a double.
