Jourdyn Campbell hit a grand slam in the first inning and later singled home the winning run in the seventh as UL beat LSU a second time to advance to the NCAA tournament super regionals with a 9-8 victory in the Baton Rouge Regional on Sunday at Tiger Park.
UL (50-15) will play either Washington or McNeese State in the super regional round next weekend.
Campbell also hit a key three-run homer to give the Cajuns the lead for good in the 7-4 first game victory.
LSU (42-17) had rallied from a 6-0 deficit to take an 8-6 lead as Georgia Clark homered and drove in three runs and Taylor Pleasants and McKenzie Redoutey knocked in two each.
But UL’s Karl Heath hit a homer in the fifth to make it 8-7 against losing pitcher Sydney Berzon, who pitched a complete game. In the seventh, Lauren Allred and Heath led off with singles and were sacrificed to second and third. Allred scored on Berzon’s wild pitch and Campbell singled home Heath with the game-winner.
