SAN MARCOS, Texas – Texas State claimed an extra-innings pitcher's duel from 17th-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball, sneaking out a 2-1 win in eight innings in Saturday's series finale at Bobcat Stadium.
Texas State's Bailee Carter opened the bottom of the eighth with a double down the right field line, snapping a string of 11 straight retired by Louisiana's Alyssa Denham. Carter later scored the winning run when Jaelyn Young's bases-loaded infield single bounced high enough and out of the reach of Denham's glove.
Haley Hayden finished 2-for-4 at the plate and drove home the Ragin' Cajuns run.
