HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University softball team continued its fall season with an 18-7 victory over LSU Eunice in a 10-inning exhibition Wednesday evening at Hammond America Sportsplex.
 
Southeastern jumped out to a 10-0 lead after the first two innings and never looked back. The Lady Lions collected 20 hits on the way to its second win of the fall.
 
Madisen Blackford led SLU with a pair of home runs, while Audrey Greely and Lexi Johnson also homered for the Lady Lions. Johnson and Bailey Krolczyk led Southeastern with three hits apiece, while Blackford, Greely, Madison Rayner, Maddie Watson and Karlee Kraft each collected two hits apiece.
 
Blackford and Krolczyk paced Southeastern with three RBI apiece, followed by Johnson and Watson with two RBI apiece. Greely and Blackford each scored a team-high four runs, while Rayner, Johnson and Blaire Bizette all added two runs apiece.
 
In the circle, five SLU pitchers combined to hold the Lady Bengals to eight hits. MC Comeaux and KK Ladner each threw three shutout innings for Southeastern. More than half of the LSUE outs were recorded by strikeout, as Comeaux (three strikeouts), Ladner (four), Ellie DuBois (six), Alyssa Romano (one) and Alexis Findley (two) combined for 16 strikeouts.
 
The Lady Lions will return to action on Friday, hosting Meridian Community College at 5 p.m. in a 10-inning exhibition at Hammond America Sportsplex.
