2021: Louisiana Cooks Rice in a Sweep, as easy as 1,2,3

[ULvictory]

Well last night, pretty much any mistake that could've been made was made. Dropped fly balls, botched fielding of ground balls, poor swinging at the plate, etc. But the beauty of it all is that it was a midweek game, it's still early, and it happens regardless of opponent. Also, these are easily correctable mistakes.

This weekend we start off fresh. We host a household name with a chance to go on a run if we take care of business. Let's get this series win starting Friday!

VS. RICE
Last season, Louisiana beat Rice, 11-2, in Houston, extending its win-streak against the Owls to four games. The last time Rice beat Louisiana was on May 10, 2011, in Lafayette.

ROC(K) SOLID
Carson Roccaforte has been incredible during the early part of the season. The freshman has a hit in each of his five games played and leads Louisiana in RBI (5) and hits (6). Roccaforte is also one of two players on the team hitting over .300.

COMBINED SHUTOUT
Behind the great start of Spencer Arrighetti, Louisiana blanked Louisiana Tech for the first time since Feb. 11, 2005 it its 2-0 victory on Tuesday night.

PUT THE BALL IN PLAY
Louisiana was only sent down on strikes six times in Tuesday's win against Louisiana tech. This is the team's lowest strikeout total since Feb. 19, 2020 against Tulane when they were also fanned six times.

FOUR-YEAR TRANSFERS
The three four-year transfers played a vital role in Louisiana's series win over the weekend. The three, Brett Borgogno, Drake Osborn and CJ Willis, went a combined 11-for-25 (.444) with seven runs scored, two doubles, a triple, a home run and six RBI.

BENNY BALL GAME
Ben Fitzgerald hit his second go-ahead pinch-hit home run of his career against Tulane on Sunday, Feb. 21. Fitzgerald's first came against Michigan State in Pensacola, Fla., on March 7 of last season.

Rice was a late inning rally away from sweeping HBU at Reckling last weekend. They are much improved at the plate and have added serious depth to that bullpen. This will be a good series.

Also, looking for two tickets for friday's game, if anyone is looking to sell.

Will this be a weekend series with Friday, Saturday and Sunday starters, or flip a coin to see who's on the bump?

Ok, "The games were not originally part of the Department's broadcast plans" Ok, so the university is going along with these bogus Kung Flu rules that only allow six people in the stadium but say that they want everyone to enjoy the Ragin Cajuns games.... then.... don't have television in their "plans" for an important series.... oooooookay that's some kinda strange plans they have there.... tell ya wut... surely their not thinking that television would cause people not to come to the games.... while limiting the number of people allowed into the games........ all i can say is............... huh...
