As most fans know, almost all of the Ragin Cajun softball players are very, very good students with very high grade point averages. There's simply no way any player would write posts like the penguin does. They are written on about a sixth grade level. It's a dead giveaway the penguin is not a Cajun softball player. Anyone who believes the penguin is a player, is just as dumb as the penguin herself.
A bases loaded hold in the fourth inning kept No. 21 Texas A&M in the lead and the host-Aggies stayed the course to collect a 4-2 win over the No. 25-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team on Wednesday, April 12 at Davis Diamond.
Louisiana (30-12) threatened to take its first lead of the contest in that pivotal fourth inning. Laney Credeur led off with a first-pitch solo home run to trim the deficit to 3-2 and the Ragin' Cajuns proceeded to load the bases with no outs.
Texas A&M (26-13) and relief pitcher Emiley Kennedy collected three straight outs – without the ball being successfully put in play – to escape the jam with the lead intact.
In the bottom half of the fourth the Aggies took advantage of a pair of miscues and free passes to get the run back and regain a two-run advantage.
Meghan Schorman entered with the bases loaded and no outs and with back-to-back strikeouts and a ground ball would prevent TAMU from adding on to the lead. Schorman (3.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4 K) went on to toss three consecutive scoreless innings at the Aggies to give the Cajuns offense a chance down the stretch.
The Louisiana offense kept the pressure on Kennedy getting traffic each of its final three at bats, including runners at second and third looking for a quick response in the top of the fifth. Each time, though, Kennedy found the critical out at the right time to preserve the edge.
The loss was the second in as many nights for the Ragin' Cajuns on their Spring Break trip to Texas, the squad being dealt back-to-back defeats for the first time since the Clearwater Invitational in mid-February.
The game started out as a see-saw affair with the teams trading solo home runs, TAMU netting one in the bottom of the first and Alexa Langeliers answering for Louisiana in the top of the second inning to draw a 1-all tie.
