Making History
Over the weekend, the Trojans secured their first-ever series win over Louisiana, which entered 2025 on an 89-series Sun Belt Conference win streak. The Trojans won two games in walk-off fashion after entering the series 0-5 in one-run contests.
Troy took game one 5-4, walking it off on a Louisiana error in the eighth inning. After Cassidy Boltz hit a ground ball to shortstop with runners on first and second, the Ragin' Cajuns tried for a double play but overthrew the first base bag. Makaley Boswell was able to race home and give the Trojans the win.
The Trojans needed a big fifth inning to stay in the contest, as they entered the inning down 2-0. Annie Orman teed off on a pitch to kickstart the offense, and Boswell followed it up with a two-run blast of her own to take the lead. While Louisiana tied it up in the seventh inning, the Trojans put together the rally in the eighth to win it.
The two teams played a doubleheader on Saturday, with the Trojans clinching the series win with a 6-5 victory to start the day. Louisiana took a commanding 4-0 lead in the third inning, but the Trojans were able to claw their way back into the game. Staring down a 5-3 deficit in the sixth inning, Boltz tied it with a two-RBI double to tie the game up.
Boswell called game with a walk-off single that brought Natalie Turner home and gave Troy the series victory.
The Ragin' Cajuns avoided a sweep with a 4-1 victory to cap off the doubleheader.
Taking Another Look at the Hornets
Since Troy's last meeting with Alabama State in February, the Hornets have picked up some steam in conference play. Alabama State has won six straight SWAC games and took No. 23 Alabama down to the wire in a 6-4 midweek loss.
Brooke Ramsey has been on a tear as of late, collecting a hit in five straight games and logging two-hit games in every win over Mississippi Valley State last weekend. The junior catcher has 26 RBIs and seven steals this year – both totals lead the team.
Mason Quinnie has allowed only three runs in her last four outings, spinning 2.2 scoreless innings against the Crimson Tide.
