Ladusau hits grand slam in marathon semifinal with Sam Houston

The ACU baseball team had a season for the ages. It came to a tough end Saturday night in a 15-13, four-hour, 35-minute marathon defeat to Sam Houston in the Southland Conference Tournament semifinal. The Wildcats historic campaign that featured numerous firsts came to an end, despite coming back from another huge deficit, trailing by as many as 12-3, but fighting back valiantly in defeat. It finishes as a 36-win season, the most in school history, and it brings the first Southland Conference championship to the program. As ACU transitions to the Western Athletic Conference, the final year in the Southland comes as a memorable one. Saturday's game featured 28 total runs, 32 total hits, and home runs by Brett Hammit and Miller Ladusau, the latter of which was a grand slam.
