Starting with Tuesday's non-conference game against Northwestern State, UL's baseball team faced a grueling stretch of 15 games in 20 days.

Nolan Gisclair and Matt Broussard got the Ragin' Cajuns off to a great start in Tuesday's 9-2 win before a crowd of 1,717 at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field.

Gisclair did in at the plate, tying career highs in hits (three), home runs (two) and RBIs (four). After hitting a two-run homer in the second inning, the reigning Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year smashed a solo shot in the third and added an RBI single in the fifth.

"I felt like it was opening day for me because it seems like forever since I've played at home," said Gisclair, who missed five games earlier this year with a left wrist injury. "I just felt like it was a new season. They left some pitches over the middle to me."
