Cajuns knock off Colorado State, bested by No 12 Stanford in rematch
AUSTIN, Texas – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team split a pair of games on Day 2 of the Lone Star State Invitational, opening with a 4-2 win over Colorado State then falling 8-0 (6 inn.) to No. 12 Stanford on Saturday, February 24 at Red & Charline McCombs Field in Austin, Texas.
Â
Louisiana (7-8) received early offense against CSU (7-6), getting a first inning RBI single from Sam Roe and second inning leadoff home run from Laney Credeur for a quick 2-0 lead. The Cajuns stayed ahead behind the pitching of Sam Landry who carried a shutout into the seventh inning.
Â
Insurance runs came in the seventh after Cecilia Vasquez's bunt to lead off resulted in a double. Maddie Hayden singled Vasquez home and later scored herself after Roe's second hit of the day led to her moving to third base.
Â
The extra runs were handy as the Rams spoiled Landry's shutout bid with a two-out home run in the bottom of the seventh.
Â
UL piled up 12 base hits off of CSU pitching, led by multiple-hit games from Hayden (2-for-4, RBI), Roe (2-for-4, RBI), Sophie Piskos (2-for-3) and Vasquez (2-for-3, double).
Â
Landry (7.0 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 5 K) notched her second complete game victory of the season and first since the no-hitter vs. California on Opening Weekend (Feb. 9). She snapped a string of five straight decisions with a loss.
Â
Louisiana and Colorado State met on the softball diamond for the first time since the 1994 season. The Cajuns improved to 3-0 all-time vs. the Rams.
Â
In the rematch with Stanford, the Cardinal escaped a bases-loaded jam in the top of the first before laying claim to the lead after a fielding error in the second inning led to a sacrifice fly.
Â
Chloe Riassetto (4.1 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 K) held Stanford hitless over the first 3-2/3 innings. After the Cardinal broke up the no-hitter with Ava Gall's two-out single in the fourth, a double from Emily Jones followed making it 2-0 and beginning the separation.
Â
A two-run double in the fifth inning and a four-spot in the sixth inning allowed Stanford (8-4) to end the game early.
Â
Hayden finished 2-for-3 to collect her second multiple-hit game of the day. She finished Saturday as UL's leading hitter with a 4-for-7 showing and upped her season total of multiple-hit games to team-best six.
Â
The Cardinal picked up a two-game sweep of the Cajuns in the Lone Star State Invitational and remained unbeaten (3-0) all-time in regular season matchups with Louisiana.
Â
The Ragin' Cajuns remained winless (0-8) when scoring less than three runs and fell to 2-8 in early season matchups with Power 5 foes.
