Arkansas State's quick start did nothing to slow down the efforts of Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday afternoon.
The No. 1 seed Ragin' Cajuns overcame a six-run deficit to post a 17-10 victory over the No. 8 seed Red Wolves in the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament in San Marcos, Texas.
Nick Thurman and Alex Pinero, the bottom two batters in the ULL lineup, combined for six hits and nine RBI as the Ragin' Cajuns (40-19) advanced to today's championship round. Arkansas State (29-29) was eliminated.
ULL, which will be making its fourth consecutive appearance in the Sun Belt championship game, will play Georgia Southern (36-23) at 1 p.
