The Lourdes University men's baseball team made history on Friday February 24, 2012 by playing their first game ever. The Gray Wolves traveled to Georgetown, KY to take on Georgetown College the home of the Tigers. The Tigers would defeat the Gray Wolves in both games.
 
Game 1
 
Andrew Lepiarz got the start for the Gray Wolves and had to battle in the first inning. With the bases loaded after a hit batsman, a walk and a hit Lepiarz was able to get two outs retired before giving up a bases loaded two run scoring single to the Tigers to make it 2-0. With runners on 1^st and 2^nd another double by the Tigers would give them a 4-0 advantage. Andrew would rebound though and strike out the next batter to get out of the inning.
 
The second inning would be another tough one for the Gray Wolves as they went 3 up 3 down in the top half of the inning and then would give up two more runs in the bottom half of the inning on two hits.
 
The third inning would see another run come across for the Tigers to make it 7-0. The Gray Wolves managed a hit in the top half of the inning but would strand the runner.
 
Andy Kefalos would start things out for the Gray Wolves in the 4^th inning with a double down the third base line. Unfortunately, though the Gray Wolves would not be able to produce a run after the next three batters went down on outs. The Gray Wolves would play well defensively in the bottom of the 3^rd inning but would give up a wind aided solo homerun to make it 8-0.
 
The Gray Wolves would manage a Phillip Dysard single in the top of the 5^th inning but would be unable to get much going after a quick double play retired the side. The Gray Wolves would get out of a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the fifth with a fly out to center field for out number three.
 
An Andy Kefalos single to right center would be all the Gray Wolves could muster in the top of the 6^th inning. In the bottom half of the inning would be good for the Tigers and not so much for the Gray Wolves as they surrender three runs and trail 11-0 after six innings.
 
The Gray Wolves would have one last chance at bat in this 7 inning game but would go down 1-2-3 in the inning and drop the game by a final score of 11-0.

The top of the second inning would be unproductive for the Gray Wolves as they would be retired following a single by Phillip Dysard to left field. The bottom of the inning would be all Tigers as they would plate three more runs to increase their lead to 6-2 after two innings.
 
The top of the third inning would be a quick one for the Gray Wolves as they were retired 1-2-3. The bottom of the third would be another productive one for the Tigers as they put another 3 runs on the board to take a 9-2 lead after three innings.
 
The top of the 4^th was a quick 1-2-3 for Lourdes as they were set down without a hit or base runner. The bottom half of the inning was a great defensive inning for Lourdes as they would hold the Tigers to just one base runner and no runs given up.
