Louisiana starts Oklahoma Courtyard Marriott Tournament with run-rule win over 23rd-ranked Beavers
NORMAN, Okla. – 11th-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball rode the momentum of a quick start in capturing an 8-0 (5 inn.) victory over No. 23 Oregon State in the opening game of the Oklahoma Courtyard Marriott Tournament.
Â
Louisiana (15-2) ripped three doubles in the first inning which led to three runs and never looked back in coasting to the run-rule triumph over the Beavers (12-3).
Â
The contest marked the first of four with Top 25 ranked foes over the weekend for the Ragin' Cajuns. Louisiana moved to 2-1 against ranked foes in 2019.
Â
LEADING THE RAGIN' CAJUNS
Julie Rawls tallied an RBI in each of her three plate appearances, ending the contest 2-for-3 with a double and four RBI.
Â
Sarah Hudek delivered a three-hit effort which included two doubles. It marked the third time in the past six outings that she's hit multiple doubles.
Â
Keeli Milligan jumpstarted the offense with her double in Louisiana's second at bat of the contest. It scored Kara Gremillion, who was hit by a pitch, for the initial run.
Â
Summer Ellyson was in control in the circle from start to finish. The junior hurler faced only three over the minimum, allowed only one base hit and did not allow a single Beavers runner to pass second base. Â
Â
KEY MOMENTS OF THE GAME
No. 11 Louisiana continues play in the OU Courtyard Marriott Tournament on Friday facing tournament host No. 4 Oklahoma at Marita Hynes Field. First pitch is set for approximately 4:30 p.m.

KEY MOMENTS OF THE GAME
- Milligan made OSU pay for its first free base allowed, and ignited an early momentum shift, when her double plated Gremillion who was hit by the game's first pitch.
- Louisiana's early strike continued on the next play when an Alissa Dalton grounder was misplayed allowing Milligan to score providing a 2-0 edge only three batters into the game.
- Ellyson needed only six pitches to retire the Beavers in order in the second inning and preserve the momentum.
- After Bailey Curry walked and Hudek doubled in the fifth inning, Rawls put the game out of reach with a single up the middle which plated two runs for a 7-0 edge.
