The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team captured two wins on the opening day of the 2026 season with shutdown pitching from Julianne Tipton to start and Lily Knox's walk-off home run to finish out the night on Friday, February 6 at Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park.

Tipton pitched 4.0 innings of one-hit softball to close the door on Tulsa after the Ragin' Cajuns pulled ahead of the Golden Hurricane 6-3 in the third inning.

UL and Tulsa swapped solo home runs in the first and second innings. The two sides would exchange the lead again in the third inning.
