By John RittenhouseLuverne rallied from a pair of late deficits to record a 6-5 baseball win over Worthington at Redbird Field Thursday.After being blanked through six innings, the Cardinals scored three runs in the home half of the seventh inning to tie the game at three.Worthington regained the lead at 5-3 after scoring two runs in the top of the eighth inning, but the Cardinals scored three more runs in the bottom half of the frame to pull out a one-run victory.The victory gave the Cardinals a winning 7-5 Southwest Conference record this year. Worthington ends its conference campaign with a 3-9 mark.Luverne had to earn its seventh league win of the season.The situation didn’t look good when the Trojans scored two runs in the fifth inning and one in the top of the seventh to gain a 3-0 lead.Luverne, however, saved its best offensive showing for the late innings.Mark Remme started the bottom of the seventh with a single before moving to third base when Jared Pick singled.Pinch-hitter Brad Pick then chopped a ball off home plate, and was thrown out at first base. Jared Pick got involved in a rundown between first and second base as the play continued, and he made it safely to second base when Remme drew a throw to the plate that he beat with a nifty slide.The rally continued with Brad Herman slapping a one-out single to score Jared Pick with the second run. Herman proceeded to steal second and third base with two outs, where he scored the tying run on senior Scott Pick’s triple down the right-field line.Scott Pick inherited a 1-1 count from Wyatt Cote, who was making a pinch-hitting appearance when pulled a leg muscle swinging at the second pitch.The Cards needed to come from behind again when Worthington scored twice in the top of the eighth.Zach Wysong singled to start Luverne’s half of the eighth and scored when Adam Kurtz tripled. Kurtz scored the tying run on a wild pitch, which allowed Remme, who walked moments earlier, to advance to second base. One out later, senior Rob Fodness singled home Remme with the winning run.Wysong, who relieved Kurtz and recorded the final out of Worthington’s half of the eighth inning, picked up the pitching win.Jared Pick tossed the first five and one-third innings, allowing four hits and two runs. Kurtz yielded three runs and three hits while pitching two and one-third innings of relief.Luverne was scheduled to play in Adrian Monday, but the game was postponed until Wednesday, May 26.
