LSU Softball Wins in Extra Innings vs. SLU | Highlights
Second baseman Karli Petty hit a two-out blast in the bottom of the eighth inning to walk it off as No. 6 LSU played its way to a third consecutive extra-inning game, outlasting Southeastern Louisiana, 7-5 on Wednesday night at Tiger Park.SLU crossed one run in the top of the eighth thanks to an RBI double from first baseman Lexi Johnson to take a 5-4 lead. In the bottom of the eighth, first baseman Raeleen Gutierrez drew a two-out walk, and outfielder McKenzie Redoutey singled down the left-field line. 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. The Tigers are now 4-2 in extra-inning games this season.LSU hurler Raelin Chaffin (10-2) earned the win, fanning four batters with no walks while allowing one run on four hits in the final 4.1 innings. Chaffin retired the first five batters she faced. Utility pitcher Kelley Lynch started the game but received no decision after dealing five punchouts and allowed four runs on four hits and three walks in the 3.2 innings.Connect with LSU Softball on all our social media platforms ⤵️
