TROY, Ala. – Audra Thompson hit a two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to rally Troy past No. 25 Louisiana, 8-7, in the Sun Belt series opener Friday night at the Troy Softball Complex.
Troy (30-13-1, 11-4-1 SBC) rallied from down 4-0 and 7-4 to hand Louisiana (34-13, 14-2) just its second league loss of the season and snap a 10-game losing streak to the Cajuns. In fact, Troy had won just once in the previous 20 meetings with Louisiana prior to Friday. The Trojans now have a prime opportunity to snap one of the nation's most impressive streaks as the Cajuns have won 78 straight Sun Belt Conference series.
