Cajuns 6
McNeese 2
<BLOCKQUOTE><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>LAKE CHARLES - For the second straight week, Louisiana's Ragin' Cajun baseball team turned to Jered Salazar against an in-state mid-week foe. And, for the second straight week, Salazar delivered.
The senior righthander came within one pitch of a shutout here Wednesday night, and kept McNeese's Cowboys under control long enough for the Cajuns to post a revenge 6-2 win and take their eighth win in their last nine road outings.
"Any time you can win on the road, it's big," said Salazar (4-1), who scattered four hits and fanned three. "We've set a team goal to get to 48 (regular-season) wins, and it's mid-week games that are going to get us there."
The 13th-ranked Cajuns had fallen to McNeese 4-3 March 9 in Lafayette, but have now won nine of their last 10 non-Sun Belt Conference outings.
Salazar and Cajun relievers Kraig Schambough and Thad Montgomery did their part, limiting the Cowboys (17-28) to six singles and Chris Fontenot's two-run triple in the sixth inning that gave MSU its only runs. Schambough retired six of eight batters and Montgomery three of four during the final three innings.
"The most important thing in the middle of the week is getting strike throwers," said Cajun coach Tony Robichaux, who won at his alma mater for the first time since 2002. "Most times your strike throwers wind up being your weekend guys, but we've been able to find a role for Jered and he's making it work. He's pitching like a senior."
Salazar gave up only one run in five innings last Wednesday in UL's 2-1 win at Northwestern State, a game in which Montgomery and Schambough followed with four shutout innings.

The Cajuns (36-8) scored in four of the first six innings and had 10 hits on the way to their fourth straight double-digit hit game.
"Early in the game we left runners on base, but we were able to build on our lead and situation hit the whole game," Robichaux said. "They (McNeese) bent but never broke and we never did get the big inning, but fortunately we put up a lot of zeros as a pitching staff."
"That guy (Salazar) did great again," said Schambough. "When he does what he did, all we have to do is just go out and keep it going."
In contrast, Cowboy starter Jason Bleeker was wild in his one and two-thirds innings of work, walking three and hitting two. But the Cajuns could only manage one run from those chances, that coming in the first when John Coker drew a leadoff walk, stole second and scored on back-to-back passed balls by MSU catcher Ross Blankenship.
UL left five runners on base in those first two innings and went down in order in the third, but turned that trend around in the middle three innings. The Cajuns scored in each inning, getting their five runs in that period all after two outs.
Jefferies Tatford's one-out single off MSU reliever and former Teurlings Catholic standout Tyler Stutes, an error, a wild pitch and Coker's sacrifice fly made it 2-0 in the third, and UL scored a pair of runs in both the fifth and the sixth.
Jonathan Lucroy singled and scored on Phillip Hawke's two-out double in the right-center field gap in the fifth, and Hawke scored on Micah Cockrell's single to make it 4-0. In the sixth, Justin Merendino led off with a double to left and eventually scored on Josh Landry's infield grounder, and two-out hits by John McCarthy and Lucroy provided the six-run advantage. Lucroy finished with three hits in his 10th multi-hit game.
The Cowboys broke up Salazar's shutout bid in the sixth on Fontenot's two-out, two-run triple down the first-base line, but Salazar fanned Josh Fontenot to get out of the inning and effectively halt McNeese's final threat.
