Ragin' Cajuns Split Saturday Pair in Louisiana Classics Action

LAFAYETTE – 15th-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball split a pair of games on Saturday in the 32nd Annual Louisiana Classics tournament at Lamson Park.
Â
Louisiana (10-3) was edged by North Florida 1-0 on an unearned run that the Ospreys scored in the seventh inning of a pitcher's duel.
Â
In the nightcap, the Ragin' Cajuns saw four players produce multiple hits in a 7-4 win over UMBC. Casidy Chaumont's third home run of the season, a two-run launch, put the game away in the sixth inning.
Â
THE BASICS VS. NORTH FLORIDA
Summer Ellyson limited the Ospreys to four hits over seven innings and struck out six. UNF's Sydney Matzko matched her (7.0 IP, 4 H, 5 K) as the pitcher's duel took center stage.
Â
UNF got a leadoff single to start the top of the seventh, then took advantage of a Cajuns miscue on a sacrifice bunt attempt and went to the bunt game to push across the tiebreaking run.
Â
Senior left fielder Kelli Martinez was 2-for-2 at the plate, picking up the first of two multiple-hit games she would record on the day.
Â
THE BASICS VS. UMBC
Louisiana plated single runs in its first three at bats to grab quick 3-0 lead over UMBC. The Retrievers drew even in the bottom of the third with a three-spot of their own, aided by an error in the frame.
Â
The stalemate didn't last long as Beth Ashley delivered an RBI double in the top of the fourth for a 4-3 lead. The Ragin' Cajuns added breathing room for relief pitcher Casey Dixon in the sixth inning with runs crossing on a Kourtney Gremillion sacrifice fly and Chaumont's two-run home run.
Â
Ashley and Chaumont led the offense with two RBI apiece. It marked the third multiple-RBI game of the season for both players.
Â
Martinez (2-for-4, 1 RBI) posted her second multiple-hit game of the day and Alissa Dalton (2-for-5, 2 R) picked up her team-leading seventh multiple-hit game of the season.
Â
Carrie Boswell and Dixon, pitching in relief, combined to hold UMBC to a single run over the final 4-2/3 innings.
Â
