No. 3 seed Texas State couldn’t generate enough offense in its low-scoring Sun Belt tournament game against No. 1 seed Louisiana.
Ragin’ Cajuns junior starting pitcher Meghan Schorman and Bobcats sophomore ace Jessica Mullins each shut out the side through a complete seven innings. Louisiana junior right fielder Raina O’Neal finally broke through in the top of the eighth, connecting on a solo home run to left field. The maroon and gold were unable to bring anyone across home plate in the bottom frame, suffering the 1-0 loss.
“It was another great ballgame. Unfortunately, as I said yesterday, somebody has to lose those games,” Texas State head coach Ricci Woodard said. “So you know, when you've got a pitcher's battle like that, you can't afford to miss the pitch to O'Neal, obviously, and we did. But I thought Mullins threw a great game and gave us chance to win and we just didn't come up with the key hit we needed in the right time.”
