Cajuns Baseball Defeats Georgia State 7-3 To Clinch Series
3/25/2016 10:23:00 PM | Baseball
LAFAYETTE, La. – The 29th-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns baseball team used a two-out, three-run rally in the fifth inning to defeat Georgia State 7-3 and clinch the series Friday night at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field. The series victory is the fourth of the season for the Cajuns and the second in Sun Belt play.
For the second straight night, the Ragin' Cajuns (14-9, 5-3 Sun Belt) were outhit by the Panthers (12-11, 2-3 Sun Belt) as GSU had a 10-6 edge at the plate. Six of the Cajuns seven runs in the contest came with two outs, while the Panthers committed three errors on the night leading to three unearned runs.
"I thought Gunner (Leger) did a good job despite not having his best stuff," head coach Tony Robichaux said. "You could tell he wasn't sharp, but I think he did what a good veteran sophomore does, he kept you in the ball. Then Hogan Harris came on and bridged the gap for us to get us to Jevin (Huval). We got outhit again tonight, but both nights we won. That's because we pitched and played defense both nights."
Brian Mills paced the Ragin' Cajuns going 2-for-4 with two RBI and scored a run. James Clements, Jarrett Hood and Jack Thompson each had a pair of hits for Georgia State.
Leger improved to 3-1 on the year limiting GSU to two runs on seven hits with three strikeouts and two walks in five innings of work. Harris tossed 1.2 innings before giving way to Huval who went 2.1 scoreless innings to close out the contest and record his second save of the season.
Georgia State starter Marc-Andre Habeck took the loss to fall to 1-1. Habeck surrendered five runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks in five innings.
Louisiana grabbed an early 1-0 lead on Joe Robbins' seventh home run of the year, sending a 3-2 pitch from Habeck over the fence in left for a solo homer.
The Panthers pulled even in the top of the second on a bases-loaded RBI ground out to shortstop by Rhett Harper.
In the top of the third, Georgia State went in front 2-1 on a Clements RBI single to right center scoring Justin Jones from second.
Derek Herrington knotted things up at 2-all in the bottom half of the third scoring Nick Thurman on a sacrifice fly to deep center. Thurman reached on a two-base error by Thompson the first baseman and then advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher Joey Roach.
The Ragin' Cajuns regained the lead in the bottom half of the fifth on two-out RBI single through the right side of the infield by Mills. After an error by the shortstop Jones and a Robbins walk loaded the bases, Habeck hit Steven Sensley with a pitch to bring home a run and make the score 4-2. Brenn Conrad scored the final run of the inning scoring on a Habeck wild pitch to give Louisiana a three-run edge.
The Cajuns added two insurance runs in the sixth on back-to-back RBI singles by Mills and Conrad to take a 7-2 advantage. The singles came on consecutive pitches from GSU reliever Alex Hegner.
The Panthers threatened to claw their way back into the game in the seventh as a Hood RBI single cut the lead to 7-3. Georgia State sent the tying run to the plate in the inning with two outs and the bases loaded, but Huval got Ryan Blanton to ground out to second base to end the inning.
Huval would not allow a runner to reach second base over the final two frames to earn the save.
The Cajuns and Panthers close out the series tomorrow at 11 a.m. at The Tigue as the Ragin' Cajuns go for the sweep. Louisiana will send freshman right-hander Nick Lee to the mound, while Georgia State will start right-hander Bryan White.
American Idol finalist MacKenzie Bourg will be on hand to throw out the first pitch and sign the national anthem.
The contest will be broadcast live on myAcadianaTV and ESPN3.com as Dan McDonald and Dave Schultz will call the action.
Fans can also catch the game live on News Talk 96.5 KPEL-FM with Jay Walker making the call. Live stats are available on RaginCajuns.com.
