TROY, Ala. – 21st-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball claimed an extra innings marathon in the opener and rallied from a five-run deficit in the nightcap to collect a 4-2 (11 inn.), 8-7 doubleheader sweep of Troy on Saturday.
Beth Ashley provided the tie-breaking run in Game 1 with a two-out, run-scoring double in the 11th inning and Aeriyl Mass tripled her home for insurance as Louisiana (20-6, 7-1 Sun Belt) broke a stalemate with Troy (17-15, 3-5 Sun Belt) that existed since the sixth inning.
The Ragin' Cajuns, who fell behind 7-2 after two innings in Game 2, completed their rally when Lexie Comeaux blasted a three-run, go-ahead home run in the sixth inning.
