TROY, Ala. – The first day of double-elimination play at the Sun Belt Softball Championship was highlighted by a pair of one-hitters, an extra-innings upset, and a closely-contested defensive battle on Wednesday.
Top-seeded Louisiana (41-10, 21-3 SBC) shut out No. 9 seed ULM (17-31, 6-15) in a 7-0 decision to open a day that was expected to be interrupted by continued rain. The Ragin’ Cajuns gave up just one hit in the victory. No. 4 seed South Alabama (27-17, 13-9) followed suit in Game 2, delivering an 11-0, five-inning one-hitter to No. 5 seed App State (26-18, 8-12).
