Bats Open Series with 5-4 Victory

The Storm Chasers quickly opened the scoring, with rehabbing Royals infielder Vinnie Pasquantino lining an RBI single to right off Brandon Leibrandt in the top of the first.

July 3, 2026 - The Louisville Bats got strong defense, quality pitching, and just enough from the offense to defeat the Columbus Clippers 3-1 on Friday night, evening their six-game series at two games apiece. Making his first start for the Bats since September 18, 2024, Jose Acuna was in big trouble early. His first eight pitches were all of the strike zone and Juan Brito quickly cashed in for the Clippers with an RBI double. Another walk loaded the bases with one out before Acuna got the first out of the inning. CJ Kayfus then flew ou... Full Story
