The win marked McNeese’s third consecutive Southland Conference Tournament Championship, and with it, sends them back to the NCAA Tournament once again. The standstill of a Championship game needed extra innings to be decided, and despite the Cowgirls having just one hit on the day leading up to the eighth inning, Reese Reyna stepped up to the plate, and with two outs, Reyna sent the Cowgirls to the NCAA Championship once again with one swing of the bat as she cleared the wall in left field for a walk-off home run as the Cowgirls won it 1-0. Ashley Vallejo came on in relief for Tate, and continued what Tate started as Vallejo held Southeastern off the board in the seventh, and then did it once again in the eighth as she went 1 2/3, struck out one, and gave up just one hit and zero runs. She finished the game with 6 1/3 innings pitched, while striking out two, not allowing any walks, and she gave up just six hits. Luckily for McNeese, Whitney Tate was dealing in the circle, and refused to let the Lady Lions score. McNeese didn’t get their first hit until Rylie Bouvier singled in the fifth inning, but the Cowgirls failed to bring her home. Lake Charles, LA (KPLC) - McNeese beat Southeastern 6-2 on Thursday in the Southland Conference Tournament Semi-Finals to advance to Saturday’s Championship, and after the Lady Lions of Southeastern beat Lamar on Friday, the stage was set for a rematch between the two in Saturday’s Championship.Īfter a week full of rain, it was hot for the Championship game, but unlike the weather, the bats for McNeese and Southeastern were cold.
