LAFAYETTE – 12th-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball produced at least one run each inning in capturing a 9-1 (5 inn.) win over North Dakota on Friday at Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park.
Louisiana (5-1) gradually built the lead with single runs in its first three at bats, before a five-run explosion in the fourth inning put the visiting Fighting Hawks (3-3) away.
The fourth-inning outburst was in response to a tally in the top of the frame which drew UND closer at 3-1. Bailey Curry delivered a pinch-hit RBI double to fast track the Ragin' Cajuns run to the mercy-rule triumph.
