Cajuns Storm Back Twice for Sweep of South Alabama
3/13/2016 7:22:00 PM | Softball
LAFAYETTE – The No. 5-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns softball team executed a pair of comebacks in claiming a Sun Belt Conference-opening doubleheader sweep of South Alabama on Sunday at Lamson Park by scores of 3-2, 10-6 in front of 1,937.
The sweep extended the Ragin' Cajuns (19-1, 2-0 Sun Belt) winning streak to 13 games and gave the squad the series victory over South Alabama (10-10, 0-2 Sun Belt) for the third straight season.
Trailing 2-0 in the opening game after the Jaguars scored twice in the first inning, the Ragin' Cajuns drew even in the fourth inning on solo home runs by Lexie Elkins and Aleah Craighton.
Shellie Landry provided the game-winning RBI in the bottom of the fifth on a single into left center that scored Kassidy Zeringue who reached on a fielder's choice and later stole second base to move into scoring position.
Alex Stewart finished with a season-high tying nine strikeouts in improving to 9-0 on the season. She held the Jaguars (10-10, 0-2 Sun Belt) scoreless over the final six innings.
Elkins' home run increased her nation-leading total in 2016 to 15 home runs and marked the 71st of her career tying her with Holly Tankersley for second place in school history.
In Game 2 South Alabama scored in the first inning again, this time plating three runs. The visitors eventually built a 6-2 lead after a two-run home run from Amanda Minahan in the fifth inning.
Louisiana stormed back in the bottom half of the sixth inning, erupting for eight runs to snatch the victory from the Jaguars.
An RBI single by Haley Hayden, two-run single by Landry and throwing error which allowed Hayden to score pulled the Cajuns into a 6-all tie. After a single by Elkins, Kelsey Vincent broke the tie when she took the first offering from USA reliever Devin Brown into left field to score Landry.
Craighton put the exclamation on the rally by following Vincent's single with a three-run home run to right center, her second homer of the doubleheader, to extend the lead to 10-6.
Kylee Jo Trahan, who was relieved by Stewart with no outs three batters into the first inning, re-entered the circle in the top of the sixth inning and retired all six Jaguars hitters she faced.
No. 5 Louisiana remains at Lamson Park and closes out its current homestand on Wednesday, March 16 in a 6 p.m. single game against McNeese State. The squad then takes in their first road games of the Sun Belt slate Saturday-Sunday, March 19-20 in Arlington, Texas.
