No. 7 LSU scores four unanswered after Laney Credeur’s first inning home run
BATON ROUGE – No. 7 LSU withstood an early strike from the 19th-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team in capturing a 4-2 win on Tuesday, April 16 at Tiger Park in Baton Rouge.
No. 19 Louisiana (29-15) jumped ahead in the game's first half inning, a two-run line drive home run from Laney Credeur (1-for-4, HR, 2 RBI) staking the visitors out to a 2-0 lead off of the Tigers' Sydney Berzon.
LSU (34-8) drew even with single runs in its first two at bats then got the breakthrough needed for the victory when Ciara Briggs poked a two-run single through the right side in the fourth inning.
Berzon retired the Ragin' Cajuns in order a second straight time in the fifth inning, then in the sixth inning got a timely strikeout with two runners in scoring position to preserve the advantage.
Alexa Langeliers was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate to lead UL's seven-hit attack. Credeur's homer was her sixth of the season making her the fourth different Cajun to hit the mark this season.
Chloe Riassetto (3.2 IP, 8 H, 4 R 2 ER, 2 K) dueled with Berzon into the fourth inning before losing the lead on a pair of unearned runs that crossed on Briggs' two-out single.
Berzon settled in after Louisiana produced five hits over the first three frames, holding the visitors to just a pair of infield singles the final four innings.
LSU snapped a two-game losing streak in the series, avenged the 2023 NCAA Baton Rouge Regional Championship Sunday sweep and increased its all-time lead over Louisiana to 26-15.
The Ragin' Cajuns, who lost in the Texas State series finale, dropped a second straight decision for the first time since early March.
UL and LSU are set for a rematch in the midweek home-and-home series on Tuesday, April 23 at Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park.
