Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns scored runs in all but one inning and rolled to a 13-2 victory over Miami University in game two of a doubleheader at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field Saturday evening.

The win avenged a 7-5, 11-inning loss to the Redhawks earlier in the day and sets up a rubber match contest on Sunday at 11 a.m.

The Ragin' Cajuns (4-1) pounded out 15 hits led by Matt Goulas, Chad Keefer and Jordan Poirrier who combined for seven of the hits. Keefer led the way with three RBI and a total of eight Cajuns had at least one RBI.

Taylor Hubbell, a redshirt freshman pitcher making his Division I debut, got the start for Louisiana and settled in after surrendering a home run in the first inning. Hubbell lasted seven innings, allowed just two hits and struck out six.

The Redhawks (2-3) opened the scoring getting a solo home run from Kyle Weldon in the top of the first inning.

Hubbell held the Redhawks in check after Weldon's home run. He would not allow another base hit until the sixth inning and at one point retired nine consecutive batters.

Louisiana answered in their half of the first scoring on a wild pitch and a failed pickoff attempt to take a 2-1 lead.

Kyle Olasin singled through the left side with one out in the second inning and stole second to move into scoring position. Greg Fontenot doubled into the right field corner to score Olasin upping the lead to 3-1.

The Cajuns kept putting pressure on MU starter Reece Asbury in the third inning. Jordan Poirrier led off with a solo home run to left field - his second of the doubleheader and third round tripper of the season. The home run extended Poirrier's hitting streak to five games.

UL chased Asbury from the game in the fourth inning. He was charged with five runs (four earned) in 3 1/3 innings and wound up taking the loss for the Redhawks.

After the pitching change Brian Bowman doubled home Kyle Bostick. Two batters later Matt Goulas tripled home Bowman to push the Ragin' Cajuns lead up to 6-1.

Leading 7-1, Louisiana put up three runs in the seventh and eighth innings to put the Redhawks away. In a span of 1 1/3 innings the Cajuns piled up the six runs off of MU relievers Brandon Adkins and Brandon Meister.
