The shortstop recorded nine runs, seven RBI, .952 slugging percentage, .652 on base percentage and was a perfect 4-of-4 in stolen bases.
 
The 12^th ranked Cajuns finished the weekend 5-0 and were named champions of the 2012 Ragin’ Cajuns Invitational. UL (17-0) is off to the second best start in school history – 2006 squad began the season 22-0.
