ps props again to Bitter and Prather. Excellent job, guys! _

Forgot about her, which will really makes the rest of the league even more nervous. Also, St Thomas Moore centerfielder, Katey Stanford, has committed to UL. So, we get some more batting power, and the league anxiety level rises a little more!!

Stanford must be coming on Tops or Academic scholarship, I was told this week there are no more scholarships available after the early signing period.

Cajuncharlie, I know that Cuevas, Brignac, Bourgeois will be contenders for the circle next year. I might add the name of Sigur who has seen some arm time this year. Nonetheless, it looks like Dynomite for 2008 from 40+ feet out.

Give UL's softball team enough chances, and chances are you'll get burned. That's exactly what Troy experienced at rowdy Lamson Park on Sunday. And now what's left are two entertaining weeks to end a wacky Sun Belt Conference season. "When all cylinders are clicking, we have one of the best teams in the country," said Ragin' Cajuns first baseman Lacey Bertucci, who delivered the knockout punch with a grand slam during an 8-0 win in five innings over Troy to close the weekend series. "We're scary when we're on, and I think we're really getting close to that." And in dropping two of three games to UL, the conference-leading Trojans never had a chance Sunday.

I wonder if they might redshirt Bourgeois. Would probably be a good idea considering the depth we will probably have next year at pitcher.

New Orleans – Lady Cajun freshmen Melissa Verde and Brittany Cuevas were respectively named the Sun Belt Conference’s Softball Player and Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced on Monday. The duo helped lead ULL to a 4-1 record last week defeating CUSA member Houston in non-conference action before taking two of three from SBC leader Troy over the weekend. Verde went 8-of-15 from the plate (.533), hitting a double, three homeruns and knocking in nine RBIs. The freshman had 18 total bases and finished the week with a 1.200 slugging percentage. On the diamond, Verde committed only one error in 22 chances at third base. In the circle, Cuevas pitched three complete games for a total of 19 innings. She only gave up four hits in the three games, surrendering no runs. She struck out 22 batters she faced in the 19 innings. She pitched two two-hitters, a 5-0 decision against Houston on Wednesday and then 8-0 against Troy on Sunday. Cuevas no-hit Troy on Saturday in a 7-0 win over the Trojans.

That is the plan at this time, as per the staff. But, they thought the same thing about Valle Gaspard as well. I think the fall will have alot to say about what happens with Bourgeois. She is an excellent athlete like Holly(Wood) Tankersley and she can really swing the bat well too.

The numbers are staggering, really. And it's that fact which whets the imagination of Middle Tennessee softball coach Leigh Podlesny. In a nutshell, the Blue Raiders' coach is this close, yet so far away. But that's the mystique UL enjoys. And it's that combination of envy and jealousy that has a handful of Sun Belt teams dreaming about 2007 finally being the season when the Ragin' Cajuns' monopoly over the league is snapped. "If you had asked me at the beginning of the season if I'd be happy with where we're at right now - absolutely," Podlesny said. "But we don't take anything for granted, either. We know we have to take care of our business or that big shadow of Lafayette () is going to hang over us again." And it really is wacky to look at the possible combinations involved that could disrupt the Ragin' Cajuns continuing to dominate Sun Belt softball. But the fact remains, UL is currently on the outside looking in. The rest of the story Bob Heist Sports Editor, Advertiser
