No. 13 @RaginCajunsSB Captures Louisiana Classics Championship
2/17/2019 4:07:00 PM | Softball
Louisiana concludes season-opening homestand and extends its undefeated start
LAFAYETTE – The offense displayed its power and 13th-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball received a strong relief effort in the circle from Carrie Boswell in a 5-2 win over Stephen F. Austin in the championship game of the 33rd Louisiana Classics.
Â
Julie Rawls stole the show at the plate as she homered twice – once to pull the Ragin' Cajuns even and the second time providing the lead in the fifth inning.
Â
Boswell entered in the third inning and halted the LadyJacks momentum, allowing only one inherited runner to score, before retiring 10 of the final 11 batters that she faced.
Â
Louisiana (11-0) closed out its season-opening homestand and continued the program's best start since 2015.
Â
LEADING THE RAGIN' CAJUNS
Rawls wound up with game-high honors in RBI and collected the first multi-home run game of her career.
Â
Kourtney Gremillion and Sarah Hudek also hit solo home runs as Louisiana finished with a season-high four in the contest. The Ragin' Cajuns increased their season total to 15 through 11 games.
Â
Lexie Comeaux also had a multiple-hit outing finishing 2-for-3 and extended her reached base streak to 10 games. Alissa Dalton provided the final tally with a sacrifice fly.
Â
Boswell limited SFA (8-3) to two hits over 3-2/3 innings in relief of starting pitcher Kandra Lamb. She delivered her third scoreless relief effort of the season.
