Texas State moved into a three-way tie for second place in the Sun Belt West Division after winning its three-game road series with Louisiana over the weekend.
The Bobcats fell behind early in Friday’s series-opener in Lafayette, La., against the Ragin’ Cajuns, trailing 2-1 at the end of the second inning. But the maroon and gold stormed in front in the top of the fifth, unloading an eight-run frame.
Senior first baseman Cole Coffey struck out swinging to lead the inning off and senior centerfielder Chase Evans flew out to center in the next at-bat. But the visitors collected nine consecutive hits, including a three-RBI home run from junior right fielder John Wuthrich, scoring all eight runs with two outs and taking a 9-2 lead.
