Mason Zambo hit a game-tying, two-run single in the eighth inning before freshman Caleb Stelly delivered a two-out, RBI single to cap a three-run frame and lead the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns to a come-from-behind 4-3 win over BYU in the home opener on Wednesday at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park.
Blake Marshall pitched the final 1.2 innings and struck out a career-high five batters to notch his first victory in nearly two years as Louisiana (3-1) overcame a 3-1 deficit after BYU (2-3) scored twice in the seventh to snap a 1-1 tie.
The second game of the four-game series is scheduled for Thursday at 6 p.m. Louisiana will send right-hander Tommy Ray (0-0, 0.00 ERA) to the mound with BYU countering with right-hander Jack Sterner (1-0, 1.29 ERA).
