LAFAYETTE – Two home runs from DJ Sanders and a two-hit shutout tossed by freshman Alyssa Denham carried No. 18 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball to a 7-0 win and the series victory over No. 4 Alabama on Sunday at Lamson Park.
Sanders' production at the plate resulted in a team-high three RBI for the junior shortstop. She provided Louisiana (6-3) with the lead on a two-out, two-run homer in the first inning and added a solo home run in the fifth inning.
Denham recorded a first-pitch strike off 24 of the 28 batters she faced and needed only 86 pitches the entire contest to capture the first win over a ranked team in her young career.
