LAFAYETTE – An 11-inning, midweek contest ended in McNeese's favor as the visiting Cowgirls slipped by No. 9 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball 5-4 on Wednesday evening at Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park.
A flurry of action down the stretch of regulation, which saw the two teams combine for seven runs over the fifth and sixth innings, was capped off by a two-run home run from Raina O'Neal which pulled Louisiana (23-4) into a 4-all tie.
The Cowgirls (13-17) were able to break the stalemate in extra innings by taking advantage of a pair of fielding miscues in the 11th inning to push across the tiebreaking run.
