LOUISIANA, Mo.– The Bowling Green Lady ‘Cats defeated the Louisiana Lady Bulldogs 10-0 in the Battle of Highway 54 matchup Thursday night. Bowling Green jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the first inning, putting pressure on Louisiana’s offense to score and cut the deficit.

Another excellent performance from Bowling Green’s Tanner Turner made a Louisiana comeback far from easy. Turner allowed one hit and posted twelve strikeouts in the six innings of conference play.
