LAFAYETTE – No. 7 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball battled through late-game momentum shifts to overcome McNeese in extra innings, taking an 8-7 (8 inn.) victory Wednesday evening at Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park.
Having led since the first inning, the Ragin' Cajuns (6-0) found themselves in a stalemate at 3-all in the fifth inning following a solo home run from McNeese's Chloe Gomez.
A two-run single from Justice Milz and two-run home run by Jade Gortarez in the bottom half of the fifth promptly returned the lead to Louisiana and created what seemed to be an insurmountable 7-3 lead with Summer Ellyson in the circle.
