LAFAYETTE (KATC) — On a night where the ball didn’t travel well at Lamson Park, Julie Rawls left little doubts in a three-run home run that sealed the Cajuns 10-2 win.

Rawls led Louisiana with 6 RBI on 2-4 hitting. Her three-run home run gave the Cajuns a 9-2 lead in the fifth. She drove in two runs in the second on a single, and another one on a first inning fielder’s choice.

Summer Ellyson struck out 11, her tenth double-digit strikeout performance this year. She entered the night fifth in the country in strikeouts.

Louisiana hosts the Panthers on Good Friday for game two of the series, it’s a 6 p.m. first pitch.
