Rice defeats Louisiana 9-1 to advance to championship round at NCAA Baseball Austin Regional
June 6, 2010
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Mike Ojala threw a five-hitter for his first career complete game and Rice eliminated Louisiana from the NCAA Austin Regional on Sunday with a 9-1 victory. Ojala (6-2), who retired 12 straight batters at one point, struck out nine and gave up only one walk. The Ragin' Cajuns (38-22) had only three runners reach second base in the game, with Chad Keefer scoring their only run. Diego Seastrunk went 2 for 5 with three RBIs for Rice (40-22). In the bottom of the fourth inning, Seastrunk blew the game open with a three-run double to left center that put the Owls up 6-0. Rice will try to avoid elimination when it plays Texas (48-11) later Sunday, while the Longhorns will try to advance to their second straight super regional.
