Panthers Fall to No. 22 Louisiana in Series Finale

LAFAYETTE, La. – The Georgia State softball team dropped the final game of the Sun Belt Conference opening weekend series to No. 22 Louisiana 9-0 in five innings on Sunday afternoon.

Kandra Lamb (5-3) led Louisiana (15-5, 2-1 Sun Belt) allowing just three hits over 5.0 innings while striking out five to take the series.

Georgia State (8-15, 1-2 Sun Belt) concluded a string of playing seven out of 10 games against ranked opponents over the last week and a half.

Hallie Adams (2-3) took the loss for Georgia State after allowing six runs on six hits with four walks in just 1.2 innings.

The Ragin' Cajuns scored one in the first off a home run by Sophie Piskos, followed by five in the bottom of the second inning. Louisiana added one more in the bottom of the third and two more in the bottom of the fourth en route to the win.

Georgia State had opened Sun Belt Conference play shocking Louisiana 4-1 on Friday and Saturday as Game 1 of the series was suspended due to weather on Friday in the bottom of the third inning. It was the first ranked opponent defeated for the Panthers since 2018 and just the second time defeating the Ragin' Cajuns.

The Panthers will step back out of conference play on Tuesday traveling to Tennessee to face Chattanooga in a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. The games will air live on ESPN+.
