Rawls catching today which is good news.
I don't understand trying to steal 3rd with no outs and Dalton at the plate. Cost a run.Quote:

With Talley speed yes. I think its more of just letting G State know that we have speed and will push the envelope. It cost us a run, but we should win easy today regardless.Quote:

Time to run rule them.
Cajuns softball
25 and 6 overall
11-1 in conference
Busy week coming up. And we really havent played our best ball yet. We just need to keep winning.
The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns are currently riding their longest win streak since the 2019 college softball season.
Longest streak since 2019? Since there was barely a 2020 season, you think....
7 games next week. We need to take it one day at a time. Huge weekend series vs Troy.Quote:

Lamar is currently 4-30. How much will it hurt us to play those games?Quote:

As for track players playing softball, just because your fast doesn't mean you will be a good baserunner. Example Dalton has below average speed yet she is one of our top baserunners. Izard is probably our fastest runner and has made some bone headed base running mistakes. If it was that easy everyone would have some of there relay teams as sub runners.Quote:

Why do we pinch run in the instant place???Quote:
