Following a victory against No. 14 Rice University on Tuesday night, the baseball team secured their second consecutive victory against a ranked opponent by defeating the No. 21 University of Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns on Wednesday night.
Junior left-handed pitcher John King started for the Cougars and earned his sixth win of the season. King was impressive, pitching six and one-third innings of two-run baseball. The southpaw allowed just six hits and recorded three strikeouts.
Senior Josh Vidales gave his team a 1-0 nothing lead in the second inning on a hit that scored teammate Connor Wong. Wong’s ninth stolen base of the season set the table for Vidales to capitalize on the first run of the game.
