NORMAN, Okla. — The Louisiana-Lafayette softball team tried to make a late night even later.
The 14th-seeded Ragin’ Cajuns’ last-inning rally, highlighted by a two-out, three-run homer by Kelsey Vincent, came up one run short.
They got the winning run to the plate against Oklahoma’s Paige Parker but couldn’t finish it off in a 7-6 Oklahoma victory.
The start of the game was delayed 2 hours, 25 minutes by a heavy thunderstorm Friday at Oklahoma’s Marita Hynes Field. A Cajuns victory would have forced a decisive third game, which wouldn’t have begun before 11 p.
