UL pinch hitter Jourdyn Campbell launched a three-run homer and Sam Landry came out of the bullpen to stifle LSU as the Ragin’ Cajuns stayed alive in the NCAA Baton Rouge regional with a 7-4 victory over LSU on Sunday.
The teams will play a winner-take-all game at about 4:20 p.m. at Tiger Park for the right to move to the super regional next week.
LSU (42-16) had taken a 4-1 lead on a two-run homer by Karli Petty, her fourth, and a pair of RBI-fielder’s choice plays in the second inning.
But the Cajuns (49-14) got two back in the second and then Campbell, pinch-hitting for Cecilia Vasquez, hit her home run to centerfield, her fifth of the season.
Landry entered in relief of UL starter Meghan Schorman in the third inning and retired 12 of the next 14 hitters she faced without allowing a hit.
In the seventh, a walk and a single brought the tying run to the plate for LSU. Georgia Clark just missed a game-tying hiome run to the left of the left field foul pole before grounding out to shortstop to end the game.
Alexa Langeliers and Sohie Piskos also hit home runs for UL.
