SB: Consistent Scoring Leads To 7-5 Win Over UL-Monroe

LAKE CHARLES- Early insurance runs led McNeese softball to a 7-4 win over UL-Monroe Tuesday night at Joe Miller Field at Cowgirl Diamond.  

"The team did a good job adding runs to put offensive pressure on the Warhawks." said head coach James Landreneau. "Whitney Tate pitched well and I thought we played good defense behind her. It went a little crazy a little at the end, but the score did not reflect the tempo of the game." 

After keeping the Warhawks (18-11) scoreless for five innings, the Cowgirls (17-14) allowed four runs  in the top of the seventh, but the late runs were not enough to chip away at McNeese's early lead. 

Key Moments: 

First Inning 

  • The Warhawks took the early 1-0 lead on an RBI single  

  • The Cowgirls responded with an RBI double by Kendall Talley to score Alayis Seneca 

  • A second consecutive RBI double by Jil Poullard scored Talley to give McNeese the one run advantage 

  • Poullard reached home on a double steal (McN 3, ULM 1) 

Fourth Inning 

Fifth Inning 

Sixth Inning 

  • After stealing second and third, Perrin scored on a sacrifice fly by Talley (McN 7, ULM 1) 

Seventh Inning 

  • A bases loaded walk added an additional Warhawk run 

  • UL-Monroe chipped away at McNeese's lead with a two RBI single 

  • The final run of the game was scored off a Cowgirl error (McN 7, ULM 5) 

Game Notes: 

  • Starting pitcher Whitney Tate picked up the win to improve her record to 4-7 after giving up one run on eight hits during 6.1 innings of work 

  • Second reliever Shaelyn Sanders picked up her first save of the year 

  • Talley led the Cowgirls at the plate with two doubles, two runs, and two RBIs 

  • Lopez had two doubles and one RBI 

  • Five Cowgirls scored one run a piece 

  • McNeese stole three bases while UL-Monroe stole one 

  • The Cowgirls left seven on base while the Warhawks left eight  

Next Game: 

The Cowgirls will head to Baton Rouge for its second midweek game when the Cowgirls face #20 LSU on Wednesday, March 30 at 6 p.m.
