Louisiana claims a runaway and close call in extending undefeated start
LAFAYETTE – 13th-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball increased its season-opening winning streak to eight games with wins over Jackson State and Austin Peay on the opening day of the 33rd Annual Louisiana Classics at Lamson Park.
Â
Louisiana (8-0) got off to a fast start, plating five runs in the first inning, on the way to notching a 9-0 (5 inn.) triumph over Jackson State (0-9).
Â
In the nightcap, the Ragin' Cajuns received a test from Austin Peay (3-4) after a solo home run forged a tie in the fifth inning. The hosts answered in the bottom half of the inning when Keeli Milligan delivered the game-winning hit in a 2-1 decision.
Â
LEADING THE RAGIN' CAJUNS
Sisters Kourtney Gremillion and Kara Gremillion each delivered a two-run single in providing the bulk of the offense against JSU.
Â
Milligan swiped three stolen bases as she accounted for half of the Ragin' Cajuns stole base total against the Tigers.
Â
Kandra Lamb tossed two hitless innings, Carrie Boswell struck out four batters in her two innings of work and Alison Deville pitched a scoreless fifth inning to close out the opening contest.
Â
Casidy Chaumont delivered a two-hit game against Austin Peay which included a leadoff double in the fifth inning which set the stage for Milligan's heroics.
Â
Summer Ellyson struck out seven, did not issue a walk and yielded only three hits to the Governors. She turned in her fourth complete game of seven innings with less than 100 pitches thrown and improved to 5-0.
Â
UP NEXT
No. 13 Louisiana meets Stephen F. Austin (7-1) at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday at Lamson Park to close out round robin play in the 33rd Annual Louisiana Classics. The two teams will be playing for the No. 1 seed in bracket play.
Â
The winner opens bracket play at 3 p.m. against the No. 3 seed (winner of Austin Peay and Jackson State) while the losing team will be slotted into the 5:30 p.m. game.
