Louisiana Softball wasted little time putting their stamp on the game on Friday, April 3, erupting for eight runs in the opening inning and riding that early surge to an 11–7 victory over Troy in the middle game of a Sun Belt Conference series at Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park.


Louisiana (21-17, 4-7 SBC) capitalized on early opportunities and defensive miscues by the Trojans to build a commanding lead that ultimately proved enough to secure the win in front of 1,625 fans at Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park.

With the win, the Ragin' Cajuns snapped their season-long, four-game losing skid and evened the SBC series with the visiting Trojans (23-13, 5-6 SBC). Louisiana's bounce back from narrowly missing a comeback win in Friday's 5-4 setback sets up a rubber game with Troy on Saturday, April 4 at 1:00 p.m.
