Georgia Tech came right back, scoring two runs in the top of the fifth, to retake the lead, 10-9.

The Cajuns then put up three runs in the bottom of the sixth, highlighted by a two-run homer by Sarah Draheim, her second of the game, to take the lead back, at 12-10.

The Yellow Jackets scored a run in the seventh, but the Cajuns held on for the 12-11 victory.

Jordan Wallace (14-0) picked up the win in the opener, while Hope Rush (12-10) suffered the loss.
