No. 15 Louisiana survives close call, then cruises in nightcap
YOUNGSVILLE – The No. 15-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team opened play in the Youngsville Sports Complex's Mardi Gras Mambo on Friday, Feb. 25 capturing an extra innings duel from Eastern Illinois and posting a no-hitter of St. Thomas.
The Ragin' Cajuns prevailed 3-2 over EIU in the ninth inning after getting an RBI single into the left center gap from Laney Credeur to even the score after a Panthers' tally in the top half of the frame, then collecting the winning run on an errant throw following a Jenna Kean bunt single.
The day ended with a 10-0 blanking of St. Thomas in five innings that was highlighted by freshman Sam Landry striking out 11 in crafting her first collegiate no-hitter.
With the Day 1 sweep in Youngsville, the Ragin' Cajuns (8-1) rebounded from their first loss of the young season the night earlier vs. No. 2 Alabama at Lamson Park.
In the matchup with EIU (6-5), Credeur, Stormy Kotzelnick and Jourdyn Campbell each posted two-hit efforts while Kandra Lamb and Meghan Schorman split the nine innings in the circle combining to strike out 12 batters.
Louisiana scored in every inning in putting away St. Thomas (2-5) capped off by a four-run fourth inning that was highlighted by freshman Samantha Graeter's two-run single that finished the scoring. The Ragin' Cajuns produced four doubles in the game, getting a pair from Raina O'Neal.
Landry struck out multiple Tommies batters every inning culminating with her striking out the side in the fifth inning to wrap up the contest.

6: The shutout of St. Thomas was the Ragin' Cajuns pitching staff's sixth of the season (in nine games).
8: Active hitting streak for Stormy Kotzelnick and reached base streak for Laney Credeur.
