Lady Rams Sweep LSU-Alexandria
Karla Rodriguez (3-1) dazzled on the mound, twirling a 2-hitter and fanning 3, while the Lady Ram offense scored 8 runs on 8 hits to back the freshman. Mobile scored in each of the 5 innings, using a 3-run 3rd to take control of the game and a 2-run 5th to win the game due to the 8-run rule. In that momentous 3rd inning, Rodriguez struck out the side in the top of the frame, and then the Mobile offense went to work, sending 7 batters to the plate in the bottom half of the inning. Kelyn Mendoza and Jennifer Gomez went back-to-back with a RBI-double and a 2-run single, respectively to do the damage. To ice the game, Mendoza and Gomez started the 5th with singles, and two batters later Yaicey Sojo sent everyone home by ripping a 2-run double into the left-center gap for the 8-0 win. Sojo went 2-for-3 with 3 RBI, Mendoza went 3-for-3 with 2 runs scored, and Gomez went 2-for-2 with a pair of RBI.
