Just got off the phone with Eric Capper, the Sports Information director, and the NT Softball team did defeat ULL 6-5. This is the biggest win in the program's history. NT was 0-16 against ULL and the Cajans had not lost a SBC tournament game.

Way to go MEAN GREEN.

Softball Defeats Nationally Ranked Louisiana-Lafayette

Murfreesboro, TN (5/9/07) - The North Texas softball team won its first-ever game against Louisiana-Lafayette in the perfect spot: the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. The seventh-seeded Mean Green knocked the Ragin’ Cajuns to the consolation round with a 6-5 win in the first round of the conference tournament on Wednesday afternoon at the MT Softball Complex.

The Mean Green (22-34) will remain in the winner’s bracket, facing third-seeded Troy on Thursday at 3 pm. NT extends its first-round conference tournament record to 4-0. NT handed the Ragin’ Cajuns, ranked 22nd in the USA Today/NFCA Coaches Poll, its first-ever loss in the conference tournament.

North Texas tied the game three times and then scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning to take its first lead, 6-3. The Mean Green held off Louisiana-Lafayette in the bottom of the seventh, who scored two runs. NT took the lead off an error and then Susan Waters knocked in two runs with a single to take a three-run lead.

Kristina Fowler took the win for the Mean Green, pitching six innings and allowing five runs off nine hits. Ashley Lail picked up her first save of the season after Fowler got in a jam in the seventh.

Holly Tankersley knocked in the game’s first run with a single in the bottom of the third inning to give Louisiana-Lafayette an early 1-0 lead. North Texas then intentionally walked Lacey Bertucci to load the bases with only one out but Fowler was able to work out the jam.

Susan Waters tied the game on a wild pitch by Brittany Cuevas in the top of the fourth. The All-Sun Belt player recorded the team’s first hit with a single to left field. She moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and to third on a groundout. The third baseman scampered home after a wild pitch went off the catcher’s glove to the backstop.

The Ragin’ Cajuns quickly regained the lead in the bottom of the fourth with a solo home run by Tara Hamilton. Taylor Johnston posted a solo home run of her own with a shot to left field that tied the game, 2-2, for the second time. The home run was Johnston’s second of the season.

Vallie Gaspard led off the bottom of the fifth inning with a double down the left field line. After advancing to third on a sacrifice bunt, Tankersley knocked in her second run with a single to center field to put the Ragin’ Cajuns ahead, 3-2.

North Texas tied the game for a third time with an unearned run in the top of the sixth inning. After reaching base on a walk, Muller scored from third on a fielding error by the third baseman.
