HAMMOND, La. – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns baseball team jumped out to a early lead and cruised to a 7-2 victory Tuesday night against Southeastern Louisiana at Alumni Field.
Â
The Cajuns (24-15) outhit the Lions (30-12) 11-8 as they posted double digit hits for the fifth straight game and the ninth time in the last ten outings.
Â
Junior shortstop Blake Trahan let the squad with three hits on the night including a double and had two RBI. Outfielders Kyle Clement and Brians Mills also had a pair of hits in the contest as Clement also drove in a couple runs.
Â
Junior Will Bacon improved to 2-1 on the year after scattering four hits through three scoreless innings of work in an abbreviated start. Colton Lee was strong in relief for the Cajuns tossing four scoreless innings with a strikeout.
Â
"We came here and played a complete game, and that is what we needed to do against a very good team," head coach Tony Robichaux said. "He (Bacon) stayed at the bottom of the zone, he's like a utility knife … he can do a little bit of everything."
Â
Starter Pat Cashman took the loss for Southeastern La. giving up three runs (one earned) on seven hits with two strikeouts in five innings.
Â
The Cajuns got out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first on an error by Lions second baseman Carson Crites and a RBI ground out to third by right fielder Dylan Butler.
Â
Clement increased the Louisiana advantage to 3-0 in the top of the fifth as he launched a solo homer to right off of Cashman for his third home run of the season.
Â
Louisiana added two more runs in the top of the sixth on a sac fly to center by Trahan and a two-out RBI single to left by Clement to make the score 5-0.
Â
Trahan tacked on an insurance run in the top of the eighth as he sent a double just inside of the third base bag to plate third baseman Evan Powell from second with two outs to give the Ragin' Cajuns a 6-0 lead.
Â
Catcher Nick Thurman brought home Louisiana's final run of the game in the top of the ninth scoring pinch runner Jam Williams on a ground ball to shortstop.
Â
The Lions rallied in the ninth loading the bases with no outs. After centerfielder Jacob Seward drew a bases loaded walk from reliever Dylan Moore, right field Julian Service made it 7-2 on a sac fly to left field.
Â
Moore would settle down and get designated hitter Daniel Midyett to fly out and first baseman Kevin Carr to ground out to end the contest.
Â
The Cajuns return to action tomorrow at 6 p.m. as they host Southern in the first of four straight games at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field. Junior right-hander Eric Carter will make the start on the mound for Louisiana, while left-hander J'Markus George will take the bump for the Jaguars. Â
