BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – A quick start at the plate, dominant start in the circle and a strong push at the end were the ingredients to a successful season opener in which No. 8 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball captured an 8-2 win over Jacksonville State at the UAB Green and Gold Classic.
Alissa Dalton, who finished 3-for-4 with pair of runs scored and three RBI, played a key part in the early lead and knockout punch. The senior shortstop singled to lead off the game and later scored, provide a sacrifice fly in the second inning for a 2-0 lead, then wrapped up the scoring with a two-run single in the seventh inning.
