Box Score
The Louisiana College Lady Wildcats, led by
Stephanie Jaeger's first career two home run game, downed Sul Ross 8-0 on Saturday afternoon to complete the series sweep and maintain their perfect record in ASC play.
The Lady Cats opened the game with back-to-back triples by outfielder
Emorie Nugent and Jaeger, as Jaeger's drove in Nugent to put LC on the board first. Jaeger then crossed the plate on a sac fly to right field by
Sandra Ouchley to give
Mark Rosier's club a 2-0 lead after one inning.
Â
Jaeger would add another RBI in the top of the second inning when she drove in
Candice Biggs with a single and was followed by
Meagan Pearson, who drove in
Chelsea Allen with a sac fly to left field to give LC a 4-0 lead.
Â
After Nugent flied out to start the top of the fourth inning, Jaeger struck again with her third long ball of the season.
Â
The senior second baseman was not through just yet, however, as she followed
Laura Gulotta-Parrish's two-run home run in the top of the fifth inning with a leadoff solo home run to start the sixth inning that put LC up by the eventual final score of 8-0.
Â
It was Jaeger's first career two home run game as a Lady Wildcat and part of a 4-for-4 day at the plate that included four RBI, and three runs scored.
Â
Taylor Leger continued her outstanding freshman campaign in the circle in the series finale, as she tossed a complete game two-hit shutout to move to 7-0 on the season, stating her case once again as an early-season favorite for ASC Freshman of the Year honors.
Â
The Lady Wildcats moved to 15-1 overall with a perfect 15-0 mark in conference play as they remain at the top of the ASC standings. They will host Birmingham Southern on Monday in a doubleheader slated to begin at 3 p.m. before playing at home on Friday in an ASC matchup against ASC opponent Hardin-Simmons.Â
