3/25/2018 4:35:00 PM | Baseball
Â
LAFAYETTE, La. – Senior Zach LaFleur provided the walk-off winner on Sunday as the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns baseball team defeated Troy 4-3 in the series finale at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park.
Â
Senior Logan Stoelke earned his second victory of the season for Louisiana (10-13, 2-4 SBC) going 2.0 innings allowing just one hit with a strikeout.
Â
CJ Carter was the losing pitcher for the Trojans (16-8, 3-3 SBC) giving up one run on two hits in 0.2 innings of work.
 Â
LEADING THE CAJUNS
Â
Senior Kennon Fontenot reached base three times in the game going 2-for-3 at the plate and drove in a run as the Ragin' Cajuns were outhit 8-7.
Â
Starter Colten Schmidt registered his third quality start of the season limiting a dangerous Troy offense to three runs (two earned) on seven hits with four strikeouts. For the fifth time this season, Schmidt didn't allow a free pass as he has just two walks given up on the year.
Â
HOW IT HAPPENED
Â
Troy got out to a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first at Matt Sanders doubled to lead off the game and then came home to score on a sacrifice fly to right field by Joey Denison.
Â
The Ragin' Cajuns got things going offensively in the bottom half of the second when Tyler Stover came home to score on a throwing error by Trojans starter Max Newton to even the game at 1-all. Louisiana grabbed a 2-1 edge later in the inning on an RBI groundout to shortstop by Jonathan Windham.
Â
The Trojans knotted the game at 2-all in the top of the fifth on an RBI double by Sanders to left field.
Â
Louisiana answered quickly to regain the lead in the bottom half of the inning as Gavin Bourgeois came home to score on a bunt single by Fontenot to make the score 3-2.
Â
In the top of the eighth, Drew Frederic drove a two-out double into the gap in right center to bring home a run and tie the contest for the third time on the day.
Â
The Cajuns rallied in the bottom of the ninth as LaFleur slapped a 1-2 pitch from Carter through the right side of the infield to plate pinch runner Marco Ramos and win the game.
Â
UP NEXT
Â
Louisiana heads to Metairie, La. on Tuesday at 7 p.m. to face No. 15 LSU in the annual Wally Pontiff Jr. Classic at the Shrine on Airline. The Cajuns then return to Sun Belt Conference play on Thursday, March 29 with a three-game series at Arkansas State.
