LA Tech Softball
Louisiana Tech was swept in a three-game CUSA series at Liberty (20-14, 10-2) over the Easter Weekend.
The Bulldogs (23-9, 7-5 CUSA) lost by scores of 3-0, 2-0 and 2-0 as Tech managed just five hits over the three games.
Tech pitchers were solid in the circle over the three games, but the Bulldogs lack of offensive production was simply too much to overcome.
The Bulldogs had been shut out just one time this year (2-0 loss at LSU) before the Flames recorded the feat in all three games.
Tech will travel to Auburn Friday and Saturday to face the Tigers and Georgia Tech.
