Crook shines; Troy baseball defeats No. 15 Louisiana

Even though he went just 1-4 from the plate, senior Trevor Davis gave Troy a lead that it extended and maintained in a 7-5 victory over No. 15 Louisiana.

The Troy baseball team hosted the No. 15-ranked Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns in a three-game series over the weekend, with Troy (13-10, 3-3 Sun Belt) dropping the series opener before bouncing back in game two to even the series.

The nationally-ranked Ragin’ Cajuns escaped with Sunday’s rubber game to avoid the series upset.

Saturday saw not only a victory for the Trojans over a top-25 opponent, but also a 14-strikeout performance from senior pitcher Austin Crook.
