BATON ROUGE – 21st-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball clinched its spot in Championship Sunday of the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional with a 7-2 win over Houston Saturday evening at Tiger Park.
Lexie Comeaux, who homered twice in the contest, used her first home run to trigger a three-run rally in the second inning which vaulted Louisiana (40-15) lead for good.
Summer Ellyson, who struck out nine Houston batters for the second straight day, made the lead stand as she limited the Cougars to four hits. A pair of run-saving catches from redshirt freshman Aeriyl Mass strengthened Ellyson's efforts.
