Two big rallies fueled LSU Alexandria’s baseball series sweep at Louisiana Christian in the Red River Conference opener for the Wildcats over the weekend.
Trailing 7-0, LSUA scored nine runs in the ninth inning of Friday’s series opener and scored a stunning victory. Saturday, after clinching the series with a 5-1 win in Game 2, LSUA recovered from a 6-0 Wildcats lead after two innings and scored 11 in the next three frames on the way to a 13-9 triumph in Game 3.
It is the first time the Generals (11-7, 6-0 RRAC) have swept the Wildcats (8-11, 0-3) since LCU joined the Red River Athletic Conference.
The Game 2 win was Kody Gautreaux’s 100th career victory as the Generals’ skipper.
“Anytime you come here, you know it’s going to be three tough games,” said Gautreaux.
