The Book: 2003 Softball

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Summar Lapeyrouse and Jill Robertson have been waiting for this day almost since they first picked up a bat and glove.

Louisiana’s Lady Cajuns have returned to the Women’s College World Series after a seven-year absence, and no one is happier about it than the two veteran infielders from Lafayette.

“The seniors just had our last practice, and to have it here is great,” said Lapeyrouse, the first baseman from Lafayette High whose defense anchors the Cajuns in the field.

Lapeyrouse, third baseman Becky McMurtry and pitchers Michael Parrott and Rachel Reese are the only seniors on the young Cajun team that plays Texas at 6:30 p.m today on ESPN in its WCWS opener.

partial victory with ESPN, they have us abbreviated as ULL (I know many hate this but it is an improvement over LAF) and they have not refered to us as "Lafayette" since I have been listening (UL Lafayette and Louisiana-Lafayette). Wish the team had worn the Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns uniforms instead of the ones with Ragin' Cajuns only, but more important I hope they win the game.

Just noticed, the batting helments look great. Black with red brim and Louisiana written in white across the front.
