Ragin’ Cajuns move on in Austin to Friday afternoon date with No. 2 Texas
AUSTIN, Texas – Sam Landry and NiJaree Canady were locked in a one-run duel until No. 12 Stanford plated three runs in the fifth inning and went on to claim a 4-1 win over the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team on Friday, February 23 at the Lone Star State Invitational in Austin, Texas.
Â
Landry limited the Cardinal (6-4) to a single unearned run over the first four innings until a pair of singles and free passes sparked the three-run fifth that increased the Stanford lead to 4-0.
Â
Sam Ryan (2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 K) halted the Cardinal's advancement, closing out the fifth and proceeding to pitch back-to-back scoreless innings of relief.
Â
The Cajuns (6-6) got on the board in the sixth inning after Mihyia Davis reached on a misplayed grounder and later scored on Alexa Langeliers' sacrifice fly to center field.
Â
Canady (7.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 10 K) yielded a subsequent hit by pitch, but retired the final four batters faced in the contest to fend off a late rally from the Cajuns.
Â
Maddie Hayden's leadoff single in the fourth inning marked her team-leading ninth base hit (now 9-for-21) against Power 5 competition on the young season.
Â
Friday's matchup marked the second-ever regular season meeting between Louisiana and Stanford and was the first since the 2000 NFCA Leadoff Classic in Columbus, Georgia.
Â
Louisiana began a stretch of 15 consecutive games away from home with the start of play in the Lone Star State Invitational.
Â
UP NEXT FOR LOUISIANA
The Ragin' Cajuns return to Red and Charline McCombs Field on Friday afternoon for a 4:00 p.m. meeting with No. 2 Texas (8-0).
Â
