Louisiana responded quickly with a powerful offensive of their own in this game. Heath Hood's two-run home run in the top of the third inning gave the home team a 3-2 lead.
They'd have a lead they couldn't ignore thanks to this. Thanks in large part to another two-run home bomb by outfielder Conor Higgs in the seventh inning, they scored four more runs and won 8-5.
Beating the number one rated squad is a major accomplishment. It's more satisfying because Louisiana won over a rival from within the state.
Many collegiate baseball fans expressed their disbelief on social media after the Ragin' Cajuns' victory.
