Greg Deichmann’s RBI single in the seventh was the difference.

Lousiaina Tech is still undefeated after beating 24th ranked Arkansas four to three. That’s also 15 straight wins at JC Love Field. There were over 31-hundred fans who watched this game as Chase Lunceford and Jonathan Washam each drove in two runs. Graham Ahlrich tossed three shutout innings to get the win.

The 16th ranked Cajuns outlasted Northwestern State eight to six in 12 innings. First baseman Alex Pinero was 2-for-5 with a home run and 3 RBI.

Southeastern Lousiaina had a three-run lead over 10th ranked Vanderbilt in the 5th inning, but the Commodores hit three home runs to win nine to six.
