Bobcats drop opener to Louisiana

Texas State softball opened its three-game series against Louisiana with a 5-3 loss.

In the first inning, Hannah Earls would follow up a Ciara Trahan foul out with a single up the middle. After getting Piper Randolph out, the Ragin' Cajuns opted to intentionally walk Sara Vanderford. Anna Jones lined out on the next at bat, though, to end the inning.

After a pair of walks and a double in the bottom of the first, Louisiana got on the board on a single up the middle from Alexa Langeliers. Her two RBI single was the lone scoring play of the first inning.
