ARLINGTON, Texas – In Game 2 of the Sun Belt Conference series with No. 15 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball, UT Arlington took its turn building an early lead and it resulted in an 8-3 win for the Mavericks that evened up the series.
UTA (4-16, 1-4 Sun Belt) strung together three consecutive run-scoring hits in the second inning that generated five runs, increasing its lead to 7-1 and forcing the Ragin' Cajuns (15-6, 1-1 Sun Belt) to play catch up.
Louisiana's offense was afforded time after Summer Ellyson re-entered the game, recorded the final out of the second inning and proceeded to retire nine of the next 10 Mavericks batters she faced.
