Taylor Roman crushed a two-run home run to end an 11-inning marathon game and lift the No. 22-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team to a 3-1 win over UNCW on Saturday, May 21 at the NCAA Clemson Regional at McWhorter Stadium.

With the win the Ragin' Cajuns (46-12) survived elimination in the Clemson Regional and moved on to face No. 17 Auburn (40-16) at 7:05 p.m. (CDT) for a chance to advance and meet No. 10 Clemson (40-15) on Championship Sunday.

Roman's heroic shot ended an old-fashioned pitcher's duel between the combination of Louisiana's Kandra Lamb and Meghan Schorman and UNCW's Kara Hammock.

Lamb and Schorman limited the Seahawks to just two hits over 11 innings, while Hammock was able to hold the Ragin' Cajuns in check for the first 10 innings despite yielding 14 base hits.
