Three important games for the Cajuns today:
UL vs Texas State for obvious reasons
CCU vs USA: We want CCU to win this one. We don't want to face Olivia Lackie if possible, plus we already beat CCU in the Tournament, and the further they go the better that win looks.
GaSt vs Troy: We want Troy to win for the same reason as CCU
Best case Scenario for us is for us to beat TxSt, both CCU and Troy win, then
tomorrow Troy beats CCU then loses to TxSt , setting up a UL-TxSt rematch in the championship game.
We are in the NCAA regardless when we win today, and maybe even if we lose.
The best case for the conference is for TxSt to win the conference coming through the loser's bracket. That both protects our seeding and gets 2 SBC teams in the NCAA's
Sorry, I can't go along with any of this. This is competition. I'm not interested in helping Texas State get into post season play at our expense. It looks better for the conference if the teams with winning records beat teams with losing records. The Cajuns are not afraid of Olivia Lackie, they have never lost to her. Troy and Texas State have beaten her also. If the Cajuns play Texas State in the championship game, both teams resumes are sufficient to get at large bids.
Yea, I’m not too keen about it either unless the AD’s have an agreement for our baseball team to sweep theirs this weekend.
South Al took a big chance today and went with Hardy in the circle instead of Lackie. Currently down 2-0 to the Beach Chickens, with Chicks batting in bottom 4.
Volpe has done a great job for Coastal today. Another good Freshman pitcher in the conference..
My tournament philosophy is you have to win the game you are playing now if you are in an elimination game; otherwise you will usually be saving a pitcher to watch someone else play.
Troy jumping on GaSt early. 3-0 on a three run shot in the top of the first.
