PINEVILLE, LA – The No. 21 Louisiana State University of Alexandria softball team swept its Red River Athletic Conference doubleheader against Louisiana Christian University (6-4, 0-2 RRAC), 10-2 and 11-2.
"Awesome day," LSUA Head Coach Trent Partridge said. "We came out and swung the bats well. We didn't get to have quality practices last week, so I was a little worried about the offense, but I'm extremely proud of them. Our big thing is we want to try and score in every inning and we did that in the second game. Both of them [Primrose and Soileau] filled the zone up."
