Sadler Goodwin hit a grand slam and a two-run triple and Andrew Crane pitched eight dominant innings as Troy routed host Louisiana late Thursday in the Sun Belt Conference tournament.
The third-seeded Trojans (40-18) now get a bye until Saturday. The No. 2 Ragin' Cajuns (34-24) face No. 6 Texas State in an elimination game at 6:30 p.m. Friday.
On Thursday, Troy scored three runs in the top of the fifth inning to break a 1-1 tie. Brody Binder singled home a run to give the Trojans the lead, then Goodwin slapped a triple to right-center to make it 4-1.
