BOCA RATON, Fla. -A seventh-inning rally lifted the 15th-ranked Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns softball team to a 3-2 victory over Florida Atlantic here Saturday evening in the opener of a three-game Sun Belt Conference series. For 6 2/3 innings, FAU starting pitcher Jen Musillo was able to keep the Cajuns off the scoreboard. Senior first baseman Lacey Bertucci changed all of that with one mighty swing in the top of the seventh inning and UL down to its final out. With two outs in the top half of the inning and the Cajuns (22-6, 2-2 SBC)trailing 2-0, Bertucci stepped to the plate with runners at second and third and delivered a 1-1 offering from Musillo over the centerfield wall to give the Cajuns their first lead of the game at 3-2. Musillo hit Vallie Gaspard with a pitch to lead off the top half of the seventh and Karli Hubbard followed with a single to left field. Gaspard was retired at third on a Codi Runyan fielder's choice and Holly Tankersley grounded out to third for the second out leaving the Cajuns with only one chance to avoid a three-game losing streak.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The 15th-ranked Lady Cajuns of Louisiana softball team got the bats working in the top half of the third inning in game two here on Saturday night, as Louisiana-Lafayette took game two of a Sun Belt Conference series with Florida Atlantic by the score of 7-2. The win completed a doubleheader sweep for the Ragin’ Cajuns who defeated FAU 3-2 earlier Saturday evening on a Lacey Bertucci three-run home run in the seventh inning. Louisiana improves to 23-6 overall and 3-2 in conference play. FAU drops to 13-9 and 0-2 in Sun Belt competition. With the score tied at one in the UL half of the third, Holly Tankersley led off the inning with an infield hit and Bertucci followed with a base on balls. Desi Chatman's RBI single to center scored pinch runner Courtney Trahan from second and the Cajuns led 2-1. Following a Melissa Verde walk, Meagan Godwin delivered a two-RBI single to left centerfield, scoring pinch runner Adele Files and Chatman to give Louisiana-Lafayette a 4-1 lead. Lana Bowers added an RBI single in the inning, and at the end of the Cajun half of the third, UL led 5-1. The Cajuns picked up a run in the top of the first inning to take an early 1-0 lead as Tankersley drew a walk with one out and scored on a Chatman double to right centerfield. The Owls answered with an RBI double of their own in the bottom of the first as Jenna Lopez scored from second on a Mandi Fishback double to left field to tie the score at one at the end of the first inning. The Owls half of the first ended as Amy Bukovich's deep drive to left field in foul territory was tracked down by Cajun left fielder Vallie Gaspard on a fine defensive play. In the bottom half of the third, FAU cut the lead to 5-2 as Bukovich singled to center and Fishback scored from second. Tankersley led off the top half of the fourth with a towering shot over the right field wall, clearing the scoreboard and the palm trees, to extend the Cajuns lead to 6-2. Tankersley's homer was her eighth of the season. With one out in the inning, Chatman homered to left field, a solo shot for her fourth of the season. With the two runs in the top half of the fourth, the Cajuns increased their lead to 7-2. Both teams went quietly in the final three innings as Louisiana closed out the 7-2 win. Tankersley gave up four hits over her seven innings of work and improved her season record to 9-3. Kathryn Stauffer, who pitched the first 3 1/3 innings for the Owls was tagged with her first loss of the season, and is now 4-1. Meagan Dunen and Amber Barton also saw time in the pitching circle for FAU. The Cajuns totaled seven hits in the contest led by Chatman who was 3-for-four at the plate, with a double and a homerun, and three RBI's. Tankersley added two hits, one a solo homerun. Godwin added a hit and two RBI's and Bowers was one for three with an RBI. Tankersley’s two hits extended her season-best hitting streak to 13 games. Louisiana-Lafayette will go for the series sweep over the Owls on Sunday afternoon at 12:00 p.m. (CDT). LOUISIANA SI

UL's 14th-ranked softball squad finished off a three-game sweep of the team predicted to challenge the Cajuns for the Sun Belt Conference title Sunday afternoon. More importantly to Ragin' Cajun coach Stefni Lotief, her team got some of its attitude back. The Cajuns followed the two-hit pitching of freshman Brittany Cuevas and an 11-hit attack to a 3-0 victory over Florida Atlantic in Sunday's final game of a three-game series. UL (24-6, 4-2 Sun Belt) had taken 3-2 and 7-2 wins in Saturday night's twinbill. FAU (13-10, 0-3 Sun Belt), new in the league this season, was picked second behind the Cajuns in the Sun Belt coaches' preseason poll after winning nine Atlantic Sun Conference titles in 10 years.

For the second time this season, Holly Tankersley and Brittany Cuevas have given UL's softball team a sweep of the Sun Belt Conference's weekly awards. Tankersley and Cuevas were named the league's Players of the Week after leading the Ragin' Cajuns to a 4-2 start and to a 24-6 overall record. The two were also honored with the league's weekly awards on Feb. 26, and Tankersley has won it three times already this season. Tankersley, a junior, went 9-for-21 (.429) at the plate, hitting two home runs and totaling five RBIs. The Kirbyville, Texas native also appeared three times in the circle, holding opponents to 13 hits over 17 innings and finishing with a 1.24 ERA, allowing only three earned runs. She currently leads the team in batting average (.366) and leads the Sun Belt in runs batted in (33). In only her first week of conference play, freshman Cuevas went 3-1 with a 1.96 ERA, posting 28 strikeouts in 25 innings. She recorded a 3-0 shutout on Sunday over Florida Atlantic, striking out 11 batters and giving up only two hits. Her first SBC win came against Middle Tennessee on Wednesday. The rest of the story
