Louisiana ends season at 42-20 overall; reached regional final for first time since 2016
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – No. 22-ranked Louisiana kept its NCAA postseason hopes alive in an elimination game on Sunday with a 10-2 win over Texas, but No. 3-ranked Texas A&M slugged five home runs and pulled away in the Bryan-College Station Regional championship with a 9-4 win at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
Â
Louisiana, which reached the NCAA Regional championship for the first time since 2016 and recorded a historic season which included the Sun Belt Conference regular-season title end and its third consecutive berth in the postseason, saw its season end at 42-20 overall.
Â
No. 22 LOUISIANA 10, TEXAS 2 (Elimination Game)
Louisiana used timely two-out hitting against the Longhorns (36-24), scoring all 10 of its runs and highlighted by a seven-run frame in the eighth inning.
Â
The Ragin' Cajuns built a 1-0 lead in the second inning on Duncan Pastore's RBI single to plate Caleb Stelly before Lee Amedee broke a 1-1 contest in the third when his two-out single to center off Texas starter Ace Whitehead (4-2) scored Trey LaFleur.
Â
Freshman Chase Morgan (5-3) pitched 5.1 innings and scattered seven hits while inducing inning-ending double plays in the first and second innings. The left-hander allowed a pair of hits in both of the opening frames but got Max Belyeu to ground into a 4-6-3 double play in the first before Jared Thomas' 4-6-3 double play in the second ended a Longhorn threat.
Â
LP Langevin kept Texas at bay after relieving Morgan in the sixth and struck out Dee Kennedy to end the inning after the Longhorns put runners on the corners.
Â
Louisiana would break the game open in the eighth after reliever Charlie Hurley got a pair of outs after Kyle DeBarge led off the inning with a single. John Taylor would start the rally with an opposite-field single to score DeBarge before Pastore followed with a single to put a pair of runners on.
Â
Jose Torres then belted his third homer of the season with a blast off the left-center field scoreboard to give Louisiana a 6-1 lead before Conor Higgs drew a walk and LaFleur was hit by a pitch.
Â
Bryan Broussard, Jr., would extend the two-out rally for Louisiana when he sent a Chase Lummus pitch 455 yards to centerfield for his second homer of the season.
Â
Torres and Pastore each had three hits to lead Louisiana with LaFleur and Amedee each going 2-for-5. Langevin struck out six batters to finish with 106 on the season for the Ragin' Cajuns while Matthew Holzhammer recorded a pair of strikeouts in the ninth.
Â
No. 3 TEXAS A&M 9, LOUISIANA 4 (Regional Championship)
Coming off a 4-2 win in 11 innings over archrival Texas in a Winner's Bracket game late Saturday, Texas A&M (46-13) used a four-run, fourth inning to break a 1-1 contest and power its way to its second regional championship in the past three years.
Â
Caden Sorrell and Braeden Montgomery each homered in the decisive fourth inning for the top-seeded Aggies before Hayden Schott and Ali Camarillo each led off their respective innings with solo homers.
Â
Montgomery, named the Most Outstanding Player in the tournament, gave Texas A&M a 1-0 lead in the third inning when his two-out single to left scored Travis Chestnut.
Â
Louisiana, designated as the home team in the contest, would tie the game up in the bottom half of the inning after LaFleur smashed a one-out double into the right-field corner before DeBarge delivered a two-out double to left off A&M starter Shane Sdao (5-1).
Â
Sorrell would break the tie in the fourth when his one-out homer to right off Louisiana starter David Christie (2-2) gave the Aggies a 2-1 lead. Montgomery would pad A&M's lead to 5-1 later in the inning when he homered to right off Carson Fluno for his 27th of the season.
Â
Schott added a solo homer in the fifth for the Aggies before Camarillo hit an opposite field homer to right for a 7-1 lead.
Â
Gavin Grohavac added a two-run homer in the ninth – his 22nd of the season to set a A&M freshman single-season record.
Â
Louisiana fought until the end as Pastore and LaFleur each delivered RBI singles while Taylor scored on a wild pitch.
Â
Christie, making his first start of the season, struck out a pair of batters in 3.1 innings while finishing in the top five in school history with 81 career appearances. LaFleur added three hits for the Ragin' Cajuns while Stelly was 2-for-4.
Â
Torres, Taylor, DeBarge, Amedee and Stelly were all named to the All-Tournament team
