Did not realize we only had 2 jrs and 3 srs. Getting some experience this year with what some in the know, consider the best H.S. pitcher in the US coming in next year????????Quote:

Georgia had just brought the score to 3-2 in the previous inning when Ragin' Cajuns senior Lacey Bertucci stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded.
With one mighty swing of her bat she lifted the Cajuns (4-0) to a five-run lead. She knew it was gone as soon as the ball left her bat and the bright green sphere went so far it landed on the top of a tree in left field.
"Lacey Bertucci is one of the best hitters in the country," said head coach Michael Lotief. "She's been pressing lately and has just missed a couple of balls, but she got a hold of that one. What I liked about it was the two infield hits that kept the inning alive and helped load the bases."
The Cajuns struggled to get a bat on Georgia (2-2) pitcher Kate Gaskill early and did not swat their first hit until the fourth inning. Gaskill finished the night with 11 strikeouts.

But in the fourth, Codi Runyan added to the Cajuns' one-run lead with an opposite field smash that sailed over the right-field wall. Gaskill then gave up a hit to Desi Chatman before walking another batter to load the bases, and walking yet another for the Cajuns' second run of the inning.
"We've got good hitters," Lotief said. "That's the nature of softball. When you have a pitcher up there throwing in the mid-60s, who can spin it and has control over three different pitches, you are going to be at a disadvantage. We just kept fighting and battling and eventually we were able to get to her."
Lotief said this was a good win and showed that the team has been practicing hard.
"We have a lot of respect for Georgia and they are a good team," Lotief said. "I think this is more about how we are playing, and for a young team to go out there and execute like that is just a testament to hard they have worked."
Brittany Cuevas recorded the win for the Cajuns, going seven innings while allowing only six hits.
Earlier in the day, the Cajuns trampled Wichita State 13-4, with Holly Tankersley pitching.

Some very impressive wins this weekend so far. Especially when you consider that this team was supposed to have some questions about their pitching staff. 2 wins over a #14 ranked Georgia is definately something to brag about. Somehow I'm not too surprised with the excellent coaching staff we have here at UL. Good luck with your last two games today ladies. The hardest games are over with for the weekend. Let's go out and be 6-0 come Monday!!! GEAUX CAJUNS!!!!!!
