LAFAYETTE – No. 16 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball took full advantage of the first opportunity presented with to score and the result was a 1-0 win over South Alabama in a classic pitcher's duel on Friday at Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park.
The Ragin' Cajuns (17-6, 3-1 Sun Belt) forced the issue in the fifth inning after a leadoff walk to Kaitlyn Alderink. A stolen base and an errant throw by the Jaguars led to Alderink quickly reaching third base.
The errant throw placed a runner in scoring position for Louisiana for the first time in the then-scoreless affair.
