Offense delivered in critical moments to support the junior righthander in win over Baylor
LAFAYETTE – A dominant performance from Summer Ellyson and timely hits provided No. 11 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball with a 4-1 win over Baylor on Monday night at Lamson Park.
Ellyson paved the way to her 13th win of the season with a season-high 17 strikeouts. She notched three strikeouts every inning from the second though fifth inning.
Kourtney Gremillion, who posted a game-high two RBI, put Louisiana (19-3) ahead to stay with a sharp infield single off Baylor Sidney Holman that plated Julie Rawls in the fourth inning.
Rawls later doubled in the sixth inning to cap off a 3-for-3 performance at the plate and set the stage for a pair of insurance runs.
Louisiana remained undefeated at Lamson Park in 2019 and picked up its second win over the Bears (11-9).

No. 11 Louisiana travels to Thibodaux, La., on Wednesday for a midweek contest at Nicholls set for 6 p.m. at the Colonel Softball Complex.
The Ragin' Cajuns are then back at Lamson Park March 15-17 for the Sun Belt home opening series, and Alumni Weekend, hosting Troy.
