COLLEGE STATION, Texas – An 11-run scoring spree over the first three innings, led by a career-high seven RBI from Haley Hayden, carried 17th-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball to an 11-9 win over No. 4 Texas A&M Wednesday evening at the Aggie Softball Complex.
Hayden launched a grand slam in the second inning to increase Louisiana's lead to 6-0, then hit a three-run double to cap off a five-run third inning that upped the lead to 11-2.
The Aggies (37-5) avoided the run rule by scoring four times in the fifth inning, then closed within two runs in the seventh inning following a two-out, two-run single by Kaitlyn Alderink that trimmed the Louisiana lead to 11-9.
