Once again, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns are heading into the second day of play in an  NCAA Regional without a loss.

15th-ranked Louisiana defeated the George Washington Colonials, 1-0, in 11 innings, on the first day of the Baton Rouge Regional on Friday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Karly Heath delivered a two-out pinch-hit double in the bottom half of the 11th inning, driving home the only run of the contest, to win the game for the Cajuns.

The triumph was the 12th in 16 opening-round games for the Cajuns since the Super Regional format came about in 2005.

UL is now only one win away from advancing into the Regional finals for the 13th-consecutive year, excluding 2020, which was canceled due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

UL, who is now 33-11 in Regional play since 2008, is gunning for its 8th-Regional title in that same time frame.

The Cajuns are also in search of their 8th Super Regional appearance.

Louisiana scored the only run of the game, an unearned run, in the bottom half of the 11th inning, when Sophie Piskos began the frame with a single, before later scoring on the game-winning double off the bat of Heath, to win it 1-0.
