The Book 2009 LAdy Cajuns Softball

[MetryCajun]

I would trade our softball success for one extra win a year in football. I'm not joking.

_ "Softball season: The one time of year where every Cajun fan can come out of their shell and talk some serious schitt!" _

Dont even try it. This is not a serious sport. UL is laughed at because we have to hang our hat on softball.

Too many other important things going on.

1 our recruiting class sucked
2 the coaching staff sucks
3 our basketball team sucks
4 coach Lee sucks
5 No RCAF
6 Said in a whiny sssd tone, "THEY DIDNT CALL US UL, THEY CALLED US ULL"
7 Our band sucks.

Softball being #5 in the NATION....in an actual NCAA sanctioned sport??? Thats cr.ap man....not even worthy of being talked about....

You are the minority on that one (on this board at least).

I think you just laid out the anti-UL State of the Union speech!

Other than #2, that list is very accurate. But hope spring eternal. I am expecting for a good year in baseball. I also hope Cajun softball fans have a lot to cheer about.

Too bad I won't get to taste them until SUNDAY because some genius deemed it necessary to scedule today's game for 4:30 and I have to work tomorrow!!!

Any predictions on today's score? I'm going for the good ole shutout, say 4-0, compliments of ______ (insert one of three dominating pitchers here) and the Ragin' Cajuns squad. Does Ole Miss even have a pictcher, maybe we can loan them one. Man, I love to s. talk!...is it 4:30 yet? I can taste those peanuts now!

The start of Softball is a great day for the University every year.

[BeauCajun]

_ . I am really anxious to see who the coaches will start. Here is my guess:

1b - Bridges
2b - Smith
3b - Verde
SS - Runyan
LF - Gaspard
CF - Hubbard
RF - Ray
C - Bowers
P - Cuevas
DH - Dupont

I could be really off base, but it is fun speculating. What do you think? _

Not bad you went 9 for 10. Sub Donna B pitching for Cuevas.

  At the time, nobody realized the significance of the play.

When Ole Miss leadoff hitter and All-American Lauren Grill drilled a 3-2 pitch off the outfield fence and was subsequently thrown out at second base by UL left fielder Vallie Gaspard while trying to stretch the hit into a double, it seemed like just an exciting play to open the game.

As it turns out, that hit was the only thing which stood between Donna Bourgeois and perfection.

  Sometimes that Cajun hospitality can come back to haunt you.

With the UL softball team clinging to a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth inning, the Cajuns gave Ole Miss a gift. And the Rebels didn't turn it down, scoring three unearned runs on a Codi Runyan throwing error.

Ole Miss pitcher Becky Nye (1-0) made the lead stick as she capped off an impressive day by holding the No. 6 Cajuns to two runs on six hits in the 4-2 Rebels victory.

The Rebels' win came in front of a packed house of 1,017 at Lamson Park on Saturday. The two teams will conclude the three-game series at 1 p.m. today. UL won game one, 7-0, on Friday.

  UL softball coach Michael Lotief tried to prepare everyone in the offseason.

If they weren't listening, it's their fault.

A year after the Ragin' Cajuns made their fifth Women's College World Series appearance - knocking off No. 1 Florida in the process - Lotief approached the 2009 season with cautious optimism.
