UL's 11th-ranked softball team unleashed its offense in a big way Friday in the opening game of the Easton Spring Fling hosted by the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The Ragin' Cajuns rapped out seven extra-base hits in a 16-hit attack and rolled past Seton Hall 18-0 in five innings in the first of four round-robin games for UL during the event.
The Cajuns (19-2) play twice today and will get a more stern test at 1:30 p.m. when UL takes on unbeaten, third-ranked and tournament host Alabama (16-0). UL meets Seton Hall again at 11 a.m. in today's opener.
UL scored five runs in the second inning, four in the third and plated nine in the fourth inning in Friday's easy win, one that featured the Cajuns' biggest run output of the season.
