Ludy doubles in 1st game (02/28/2009)

Local roundup

Josh Ludy saw his first collegiate action Wednesday. And he made the most of it.

The 2008 Jay County High School graduate recorded an extra-base hit in his first game for the sixth-ranked Baylor University baseball team. The Bears defeated visiting Houston Baptist 15-4.

Ludy came in as a pinch hitter for Gregg Glime in the sixth inning and took over at catcher for the remainder of the game. After flying out in his first career at-bat, he ripped a double to left-center field in the eighth inning.

The freshman advanced to third base on a single by Lucas Hileman, and scored on a fielder's choice by Landis Ware.
