Facing a 2-1 count, Petty sent the ball over the left-center wall, scoring three runners and giving LSU a 7-5 walk-off victory – its fifth of the season.“The best part about the hit from Karli [Petty] was that our whole team was confident and knew she could do it,” said Head Coach Beth Torina. “Every person in the dugout said that they called it, but I think it’s confidence in their teammates. When our team gets to a spot where there’s never a doubt about something, that’s where we can move forward.”LSU improves to 32-6 this season, while Southeastern falls to 33-8.
