LAFAYETTE, La. - The 12th-ranked Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajun softball was as advertised Sunday, taking down Stephen F. Austin 14-3 in the final game of the Ragin' Cajun Invitational at Lamson Park.
The Ragin' Cajuns (17-0) scored in all but two innings and got a six-RBI performance from center fielder Brianna Cherry as part of a 14-hit attack.
Kaitlyn Mixon (0-3) struggled on the mound for the Ladyjacks, surrendering 12 runs (7 earned) on 12 hits and five walks. Jordan Wallace picked up the win for the Ragin' Cajuns, allowing three earned runs in five innings of work.
The Ladyjacks were led offensively by first baseman Elizabeth Arana, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI's.
SFA (7-14) fell behind 6-0 by the fifth inning before pushing across two runs of their own in their half of the fifth on a two-run single by Arana. However, Louisiana-Lafayette responded with back-to-back four run innings to put the game out of reach.
The Ladyjacks will play one more game in the Bayou State on Wednesday, March 7 when they travel to Louisiana-Monroe for a single game at 5 p.m. SFA will open Southland Conference play March 9-10 when they host McNeese State for two games.
