LONDON \u2014 South Laurel dug itself an 8-3 deficit before rallying but couldn\u2019t come up with the win, falling to Southwestern on Monday, 8-6.
The Cardinals fell behind 2-0 in the top of the first inning before tying the game at two apiece in the bottom of the second inning.
The Warriors (1-0) took control of the game with three runs in the top of the fourth inning, and top of the fifth inning to push their lead to 8-3.
South Laurel scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning but couldn\u2019t push any runs across in the bottom of the seventh inning.
\u201cWe have to have the mentality of being a team that when we get down, we\u2019ve to scratch and score runs,\u201d South Laurel coach Trey Smith said. \u201cI felt like we did that tonight. We left too many runners on base tonight, though.
\u201cThe three big things I\u2019ve talked to the guys about, I thought we did two of those tonight,\u201d he added. \u201cWe have to make the defensive plays. If we make the defensive plays like I know we can, I feel sky is limit for us.\u201d
The Cardinals (0-1) will take a few days off before hitting the road Thursday to play Madison Southern at 6 p.m.
South Laurel senior Ashton Garland turned in perfect 2-for-2 effort at the plate while driving in a run, and scoring twice. Austin Byrd had two hits, and scored twice while Cole Harville had a hit and two RBI. Ayden Smith had a hit, two RBI, and one run scored while Hunter Bundy finished with a hit and one run scored. Will Alsip walked three times at the plate.
Alsip took the loss on the mound, tossing four inning while allowing nine hits, two earned runs while striking out three batters. Keaton Creech replaced Alsip on the mound, surrendering three earned runs, and a hit. Harville pitched two scoreless inning while striking out two batters, and Waylon Hensley pitched an inning of scoreless ball while striking out two batters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
