SB: Louisiana 10, Nicholls 2

[MelRock]

The team had never started the season with five straight shutouts. However, they have started the season with four consecutive shutouts four times, 1995, 2010, 2015, and 2019.

Nice to see Frankie in the game tonight as a PR.

Well, Cajuns turned Nicholls into Eli Apple...burnt toast.

Off to Oak Island...

Roar…I go watch it in the other room while wife watches “This is Us”. Nope, not one of “us”.

I fully know they’d never show real treasure and they always get “wood” in more ways than one…lol.

Well. Just to be clear
I'd rather watch Oak Island than This Is Us. They have one thing in common. They are both fake. LOL.

The Ragin Cajuns started off the softball season 5-0 as they went on to play Nicholls Tuesday night. The Cajuns beat Nicholls 10-2 via the mercy rule in the 5th inning.

As I stated yesterday in a different post, it was going to be hard to keep Nicholls from scoring they are a decent offensive club as shown by the fact that they got 5 hits and 2 runs. But where I knew they were going to struggle was going to be pitching and defense. Their was no way they were going to hold us down. Their best pitcher threw 3 innings and gave up 7 runs (6 earned) and their backup who came in didn't fair any better.

Sam is going to struggle a little as she is a Freshman, but with time she is going to be fine. I am excited to see this team grow and learn.

Next up is a one game Thursday night affair with #2 ranked Alabama. Bama is 4-0 with wins over Southern Utah, Oregon State, #9 ranked Arizona (an 11-0 5 inning game) and New Mexico.

The 11-0 victory vs Arizona is scary. Alabama is out scoring their opponents in 4 games by a score of 33-4.

I agree with you that Landry is learning and will be very good. Nicholls may not have scored against Lamb or Schorman.

I disagree with both of you. Maybe y'all weren't at the same games that I was. Landry has thrown, I think, 12 innings. She's made two mistakes. On two batters, with an 0-2 count, she threw the ball down the middle of the plate. Both players got a hit. One, to break up a no-hitter, the other to score a run.

If she continues to throw her off speed, 50 mph pitch for strikes, she will be almost unhittable.

Your points are well taken. But part of learning is not throwing a pitch down the middle to a college hitter with an 0-2 count. And, yes, her change up was great.

Yes, to your point, I agree Sam is going to be amazing, I am just saying she is learning on the job. She will be fine, better than fine.
