DeLand, Fla. - Corey Kluber ran his record to 3-0 and the Stetson Hatters got by the Louisiville Cardinals, 4-3 Friday night at Melching Field.  Shane Jordan drove in two runs and scored another in a four-run second inning that proved to be the difference for Stetson.

The Hatters improved to 7-2 on the year, while Louisville dropped to 2-3. 

Stetson took its first lead in the bottom of the second when Jordan's two-out single scored two runs.  After Jordan stole second, Casey Frawley and Braedyn Pruitt each drew walks to load the bases.  Brian Pruitt was then hit by a pitch to force in another and a single from Justin Bass brought home Frawley for a 4-1 lead.

Louisville struck first in the top of the first.  Boomer Whiting singled to lead off the game.  After advancing on a ground out, he stole third and came home when the throw went into left field. 

A Chris Cates sacrifice fly in the third scored Derek Alfonso for Louisville's second run.  Alfonso came home again in the fifth when he led off with a double, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a ground out.  That brought the Cardinals within a run at 4-3.

Robby Donovan turned in 1 2/3 scoreless relief innings for the Hatters to hold the lead for Kluber.  Robbie Elsemiller entered with two outs in the seventh and closed it out for his second save of the year. 

Zack Pitts (1-1) took the loss for Louisville, although all four Stetson runs were unearned and Pitts recorded seven strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings. 

The series continues Saturday evening with a 5:00 p.m. first pitch at Melching Field at Conrad Park.
