He scattered 8 hits, walked 3, and struck out 3. His record improves to 2-0. The Dragoons boast a remarkable 19-4 record.

In the top of the third, Armond Merlin hit a run-scoring double for Louisiana. The 5th double of the season for the Louisiana shortstop put the Dragoons on top, 3-2.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Merlin told the Louisiana News.
