Dalton’s Key Hit Locks Up SBC Championship Game Spot for No. 7 Louisiana

SAN MARCOS, Texas – Another fourth inning rally lifted No. 7 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball to a win at the 2019 Sun Belt Conference Tournament, a 5-2 decision over Coastal Carolina which clinched a spot in the championship game.

Alissa Dalton was Friday's hero as her two-out, two-run single pulled Louisiana (49-4) ahead to stay at 3-2. A solo home run from Sarah Hudek and run scored off a wild pitch by Keeli Milligan added insurance in the fifth inning.

Summer Ellyson made the rally stand as she went on to complete a string of six consecutive scoreless innings pitched after the Chanticleers (38-20) grabbed an early lead with a two-run home run in the first inning.
