UH Asst. Coach Frank Anderson postgame:
On if the length of the game takes a toll:
"Absolutely. You know who won this game tonight? Louisiana-Lafayette. They've got to be laughing. We're just beating the tar out of each other right there and throwing all kinds of pitchers on the field right there. We played 20 innings. Something had to happen. They got a big hit there at the end to make it 3-2. The kids fought and battled and scrapped and made plays. After a while you get numb. In the end, somebody's got to score eventually. We don't have any softball rules to place somebody on second base."

I would have to agree with the Houston Asst. 20 innings until around 2 am. They had to throw several arms out there not to mention the lack of sleep. Time will tell but I would say big advantage Cajuns.
That was what we were talking about, but no one, until you, came on here and confirmed that Stephens was starting with any type of reference to a source.
Textitan, I know you posted something on the previous page, but I didn't see you mention anyone as a source. Thought you were just giving it your best guess.
I think the effects of the marathon game will most likely be a major factor in a game 2 if needed today... Im just hoping we dont have to find out.
I think our bats gets going today. I just don't see our bats being dormant for 3 games in a row. Plus, Rice kicks the ball around as is - put the ball in play and let their tired legs and arms make plays
Wondering about their catcher? Will he start, would he be effective? Rice trouble stealing late in the game vs the Cougar catcher. Or was it the other way around.
Rice's catcher looked like he had arthritis in his knees after the game
That's a great point Express. Wasn't even thinking about their catcher but 20 innings is A LOT of wear and tear
He had his chances with people on second no outs.
Screw both of them. I do not expect the Cajuns to score at will, we better come in with a little fear, not too much swagger.
Yeah, that's my bad. It was in one of Luke's articles posted here so I assumed others had read it. I know I know, assumed. But here is the article: http://theadvocate.com/sports/ullafa...-houston-in-20
Here is the quote: "First pitch is set for 1 p.m., and the Cajuns need one win Monday to advance to the super regional round. Rice will send junior Jordan Stephens (6-4, 2.95 ERA) to the mound, while the Cajuns will counter with freshman Evan Guillory (4-0, 4.08)."
