LAFAYETTE, La. – Evan Guillory limited the Georgia Southern Eagles to one run over six innings and the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns' offense backed his effort with a three-run fifth inning in a 5-1 win on Sunday.

The Ragin' Cajuns (16-13, 8-5) salvaged a game in the series after dropping the first two games of the series. The contest was called in the eighth inning after a 28-minute rain delay.

Guillory (3-0) limited the Eagles (19-14, 9-6) to six hits and struck out six batters to earn his third win of the season. The freshman righthander allowed just one run on a Chase Griffin ground out in the third inning.

His offense backed his efforts with a pair of home runs and a three-run frame in the fifth inning. Dylan Butler hit a two-out solo homer in the second inning to give Louisiana an early 1-0 lead. Stefan Trosclair led off the fifth inning with his third home run in the series.

The Ragin' Cajuns added a second run in the inning after a walk and infield single on a sac bunt from Nick Thurman. Kyle Clement smacked a pinch-hit single off of relief pitcher Patrick Riley to score the final run in the inning.

Dylan Moore held the Eagles scoreless over the final two innings and earned a save. Moore (4) struck out a batter and walked one and allowed one hit.

Eagle starter Connor Simmons was tagged with the loss after surrendering two runs on three hits. Simmons (1-2) walked three batters and struck out two over three innings.

Riley tossed three scoreless innings and struck out two batters in relief.

The Eagles will remain on the road in the mid-week and will travel to Charleston, S.C. for the second time this season to face the College of Charleston. First pitch from just across the bridge at the Ballpark at Patriots Point is set for 6 p.m.
