LAKE CHARLES, La. – It was a tightly contested, scoreless ballgame between the University of Central Arkansas and McNeese before a 10-run fourth inning by the Cowgirls propelled the home team to a 10-0 victory Saturday morning at Joe Miller Field.
UCA (21-23, 7-11 SLC) struggled to piece together hits against McNeese starter Caroline Settle. Central Arkansas also committed four errors defensively that contributed heavily to the defeat.
INDIVIDUAL NOTES
- Rio Sanchez (8-8) was saddled with the loss having allowed six earned runs over 3.1 innings.
