The 21st-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns baseball team used a four-run fourth inning to surge past South Alabama with a 10-2 victory on Sunday at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park to claim the squad's sixth series of the year.

The series victory is the 15th straight overall for the Cajuns (16-12, 6-3 Sun Belt) dating back to the 2016 and includes 11 straight conference series wins.

"I thought our hitters did a good job today," head coach Tony Robichaux said. "Again we played good defense, and that was big for us. I thought Joe Robbins' home run got us going offensively. Joe is a guy that can really make us go. He can get the ball out of the ballpark and get the team going offensively. He got us going Friday night, and then again today he did it again. We were able to score in multiple innings today, and I thought that big fourth inning really broke their backs."

The Ragin' Cajuns outhit the Jaguars (16-12, 6-3 Sun Belt) 12-8 in the contest led by centerfielder Ishmael Edwards who went 3-for-5 with a home run, a career-high four RBI and scored three runs. Third baseman Joe Robbins also reached base three times in the game going 2-for-4 with a walk, home run, two RBI and scored once.

"I thought Hogan did a good job of coming back to settle in and pitch again after the first solo home run," Robichaux said. "He gave up another solo home run, but he came back and answered. That's a good sign from a young sophomore."
