CLEMSON, S.C. – Taylor Roman crushed a two-run home run to end an 11-inning marathon game and lift the No. 22-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team to a 3-1 win over UNCW on Saturday, May 21 at the NCAA Clemson Regional at McWhorter Stadium.
With the win the Ragin' Cajuns (46-12) survived elimination in the Clemson Regional and moved on to face No. 17 Auburn (40-16) at 7:05 p.m. (CDT) for a chance to advance and meet No. 10 Clemson (40-15) on Championship Sunday.
Roman's heroic shot ended an old-fashioned pitcher's duel between the combination of Louisiana's Kandra Lamb and Meghan Schorman and UNCW's Kara Hammock.
