NEW ORLEANS - UL's baseball squad had already locked up the Sun Belt Conference regular-season title before Thursday's 5-4 win over New Orleans, but the victory kept the Cajuns' hopes alive for an unbeaten string to finish the season - and possibly an NCAA bonus.
UL (39-13) can reach one goal of getting to 40 wins before 15 losses with a win in tonight's 6:30 p.m. contest at Maestri Field. The teams wrap up the regular season at 3 p.m. Saturday.
"It's very important not to let up," said Cajun first baseman Matt Casbon, whose fourth-inning two-run single gave the Cajuns the lead for good Thursday night. "With the RPI the way it is, we know we need to keep winning. People know that we're not going to give up so we have to keep playing hard."
