After struggling to get hits all game, it was only fitting that Louisiana-Lafayette won its NCAA tournament game against Houston without having to put the bat on the ball.

In a 1-1 game in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Ragin' Cajuns' Tyler Girouard stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and one out. On a 1-1 pitch, he was hit by Cougars southpaw Aaron Fletcher.
