The defending Sun Belt Conference champion Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Baseball team ventures to the Crescent City on Sunday to face Tulane in a fall exhibition contest at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.
First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. Admission to the exhibition is free.
Louisiana (37-23 in 2022) and Tulane (33-26-1) will play 16 innings and will give both teams their first chance to face opposing pitchers after each opening fall drills earlier this month. The scrimmage is the first of two for Louisiana, which will host LSU on Nov. 13 at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park.
The Ragin' Cajuns return 17 letterwinners from last year's team, which claimed the SBC Tournament title and competed in the NCAA College Station Regional. All-Sun Belt Conference and All-ABCA South Region performer Carson Roccaforte (.374-16-68) posted a Triple Crown for the Ragin' Cajuns with Heath Hood (.337-4-39), first-team All-SBC catcher Julian Brock (.303-7-35), Trey LaFleur (.300-3-8) and Kyle DeBarge (.293-3-30) all returning to the lineup.
Louisiana added 25 newcomers to the team including 16 pitchers.
