6/5/2016 4:00:00 AM | Baseball
The Wright State baseball team saw its postseason run come to an end on Sunday afternoon as #2 national seed and host Louisville advanced to next week's Super Regionals with a 3-1 decision at Jim Patterson Stadium.
After three scoreless innings, the Cardinals went in front to stay in the fourth as Will Smith reached on an infield hit to start the frame and Nick Solak followed with a two-run home run to left. Louisville then added another run in the sixth on a RBI single by Solak.
WSU put together a two-out rally for a run in the ninth as JD Orr doubled down the right field line and Gabe Snyder drove him in with a single to right center, but a fly out ended the game.
Two Raiders were selected to the All-Tournament Team in senior outfielder Ryan Fucci and freshman outfielder Orr. Fucci hit .333 with a team-high five RBI in four games while Orr hit a team-best .533 (8 for 15) with four runs scored and three RBI.
Wright State finishes the season with a final record of 46-17.
