BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Summer Ellyson picked up where she left off last season and No. 8 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball got the timely hit needed for a 1-0 victory over UAB to close out Day 1 of the 2021 season and the UAB Green and Gold Classic at Mary Bowers Field.
Ellyson yielded just three hits and struck out seven in the complete game shutout of the Blazers which extended her active streak of consecutive scoreless innings pitched to 18-1/3 innings dating back to 2020.
The senior hurler and her defense twice worked around a runner on third and one-out situation to protect the shutout, the last occurrence coming in the sixth inning.
