MONROE — As it turned out, UL didn’t need Buddy Glass.

The Ragin’ Cajun righthander and normal series-opening starter was scratched from the lineup with a sore shoulder before Friday’s contest with UL Monroe, and nobody noticed.

That’s because Danny Farquhar and Greg Harmon combined for one of the Cajuns’ pitching gems of the season, guiding UL to a 5-2 victory over the host Warhawks in the opening game of their Sun Belt Conference series.

Farquhar struck out 11 ULM hitters and scattered six hits through six and two-thirds innings, and Harmon fanned the final six batters he faced. In fact, had it not been for a couple of defensive lapses, the two would have combined for the staff’s second shutout of the season.

“Danny stepped up big for us,” said Cajun coach Tony Robichaux, “and Harmon’s been in a good rhythm. He may have found himself a niche or a slot there.”
