SEATTLE – The No. 22-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns softball team fell to No. 5 Washington, 8-0, in five innings on Friday, May 26 to begin play in the NCAA Seattle Super Regional at Husky Softball Stadium.
Â
Louisiana (50-15) and Washington (42-13) played to a standoff over the first three innings of scoreless softball and only one hit recorded for either side, before the Huskies would become the first to break through on the scoreboard.
Â
The Ragin' Cajuns had the best scoring opportunities first, getting a runner to third base in the first inning before a great defensive play prevented the visitors from scoring and later in the fourth inning when two runners were aboard after Jourdyn Campbell's two-out double.
Â
Once the breakthrough happened, Washington scored all eight of its runs in the fourth and fifth inning – plating five in the fourth and three in the third. The Huskies had a pair of home runs by Sydney Stewart and Rylee Holtorf before Alana Johnson plated a pair of runs in the fifth and Holtorf ended the game with an RBI single to left.
Â
Louisiana had an excellent opportunity to get back into the game in the top of the fifth as the bases were juiced for Karly Heath, who hit a deep fly ball to left field that was caught just shy of the wall.
Â
Ruby Meylan held the Ragin' Cajuns scoreless and allowed two hits and four walks while striking out seven over five innings.
Â
Sam Landry was dealt the loss as she gave up three runs on three hits with three strikeouts over 3-1/3 innings of work before being relieved by Chloe Riassetto.
Â
UP NEXT FOR LOUISIANA
Louisiana and Washington return to Husky Softball Stadium on Saturday, May 27 at 6:00 p.m. (CDT) for Game 2 of the Super Regional.
Â
In Saturday's contest the Ragin' Cajuns will be playing to keep their season alive and gain another opportunity for the chance to advance to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City.
