MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. – The Southeastern Louisiana University softball team extended its winning streak to seven games with a pair of victories on day two of The Spring Games Saturday at ROC Park.
Southeastern (17-2) opened the day with a 3-1 victory over Central Michigan (5-7). Later in the day, the Lady Lions rallied past Yale (3-5) for a 6-4 win.
KK Ladner (4-1) struck out eight in a complete-game two-hitter in the win over CMU.
Cam Goodman and
Maria Detillier each hit home runs for SLU, while
Lexi Johnson added an RBI of her own.
Yale jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first two innings, but Southeastern used the long ball to take the lead for good. The Lady Lions tied a school record with three home runs in the bottom of the second inning. It marked the second time SLU hit three homers in a frame and first time since April 13, 2013 at Lamar.
Johnson,
Audrey Greely and
Ka'Lyn Watson all homered in the frame.
Blaire Bizette hit her first home run of the season in the bottom of the fourth inning to cap SLU's scoring output.
