LAKE CHARLES, La. (Interstat) — Ben Robichaux hit a solo home run in the first inning and Peyton Woods delivered a two-run homer in the 11th as Southeastern Louisiana held off McNeese State 13-12 in a Southland Conference slugfest Saturday.

The Lions (33-20) jumped to a 13-run first-inning outburst. Robichaux’s 13th homer opened the scoring, and Justin Williams followed with a three-run double. Alex Perry later scored on an error for a 13-0 lead.

The Cowboys (28-24) chipped away, scoring three in the first on run-scoring hits by Connor Barbero, Noah Pinkerton and Cooper Heusohn. Brody Capps homered in the fifth, Perry homered in the sixth and Woods added a two-run single in the seventh.

McNeese State rallied with two runs in the seventh, four in the eighth and trailed 13-11 after Woods’ 11th-inning homer. But Easton Dowell’s sacrifice fly brought the Cowboys within one before Grant Keller’s 11th homer cut it to 13-12.

Southeastern Louisiana had 15 hits; McNeese State had 16. The Lions won despite allowing a season-high 12 runs.
