The No. 2 Cardinals’ baseball team took a hard hit on Feb. 26 against Western Illinois, losing 8-3. Although they were able to recover with a double header win against the Leathernecks the following day: going 4-1 and 4-9.
With U of L’s junior pitcher Glenn Albanese not present at last Friday’s game, the Cardinals struggled to keep up with Western Illinois.
At the start of the game, freshman Michael Prosecky took Albanese’ place as starting pitcher for U of L. He was successfully able to face five batters and make only two ground outs during the first inning; setting a decent start for the Cards.
