3/23/2019 7:24:00 PM | Baseball
Five of the Ragin’ Cajuns’ six runs in the sixth came with two outs
Â
Entering the frame down 2-1, Louisiana (11-13, 3-2) batted through the lineup and plated all six runs on two hits, a walk and a balk.
Â
Hayden Cantrelle finished the night with three hits, extending his hitting streak to 12 games. The sophomore also added three RBI and a run scored. Brennan Breaux added a hit and an RBI of his own, while Todd Lott and Orynn Veillon each produced a hit to extend their respective hitting streaks to seven games and six games.
Â
Sophomore Austin Perrin (2-2) earned his second win of the season, giving up three runs and striking out four in 6.1 innings pitch. The Ragin' Cajuns received a solid effort in relief from Connor Cooke, who went 1.2 innings and gave up a run on one hit, and Logan Savoy, who closed out the final frame to earn his first career save.
Â
Appalachian State (9-12, 2-3) got things going early with a run in the top of the first, but an RBI single from Cantrelle plated Kole McKinnon to knot things up at 1-1. That lead did not last long, though, as the Mountaineers took a 2-1 advantage with a double to left.
Â
The bottom of the sixth is when things got going for Louisiana as it tied the game at 2-2 with the help of solid base-running from Hunter Kasuls, who scored from third on a sacrifice fly by Handsome Monica.
Â
With two down in the frame, the Ragin' Cajuns plated runs on singles by Cantrelle and Breaux, a walk and a balk, to take a commanding 7-3 lead with three innings to play.
Â
Appalachian State made some noise in the ninth when it loaded the bases with one out and then scored on a fielder's choice to cut the lead to 7-4. That score held, though, as Savoy got the next batter to fly out to end the contest.
Â
It will be an early bird special for Sunday's game, which is slated to begin at 10:30 a.m. Junior Dalton Horton will get the start for Louisiana, with Appalachain State's pitcher still listed as TBA.
