LAFAYETTE, La. – Troy Softball fell in the series finale to Louisiana, 10-0, Sunday at Lamson Park.
Â
After the Trojans (22-13, 8-7 Sun Belt) threatened with runners on the corners in the top of the first, Louisiana (26-10, 12-3 Sun Belt) struck first in the bottom of the opening frame when Sophie Piskos knocked in a score with a sacrifice fly.
Â
The Ragin Cajuns tacked on another pair of runs off a walk and two triples to take a 3-0 lead through the first two innings of action.
Â
After a quiet third frame from either side, a throwing error allowed Louisiana to tack on another run in the bottom of the fourth.
Â
Libby Baker (6-4) worked around a one-out single in the bottom of the fifth to hold the Ragin Cajuns scoreless.
Â
However, a leadoff walk and a pair of singles loaded the bases for Louisiana in the bottom of the sixth. A hit by pitch, double and home run added six runs for the Ragin Cajuns to end the game in six innings.
Â
Sam Landry (12-2) picked up the win after scattering just one hit in the top of the first.
Â
Baker suffered the loss for the Trojans after allowing 10 hits, 10 runs and four walks.
Â
Next Up
The Trojans kick off a three-game series with Appalachian State on Thursday. First pitch from the Troy Softball Complex is set for 6 p.m.
