LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A pair of former Trinity High School baseball players were on the opposite sides of a National League record-tying moment Saturday night in Phoenix. Former Shamrocks outfielder Daylen Lile was one of nine Washington Nationals players to score before an out was recorded in the first inning at Chase Field. Lile doubled and scored the Nats’ ninth run before Arizona recorded the game’s first out.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- I wonder if Chucky Hepburn has heard the news about Tennessee guard Zakai Ziegler. Because if Ziegler wins his case against the NCAA for a fifth year of eligibility because his "ability to engage in commerce" has been truncated to four years, there's certainly truncating happening to Hepburn at the University of Louisville, too.
