SB Final: Louisiana 3, ULM 1

[JMV JustMyView]

Humidity was no joke last night. Cajuns smashed the ball & ULM played like it was their last game (it was). The ULM fans are aggravating. On to the next one.

Well I can confirm that you had the best looking hat on last night. The dead air did knock down at least 2 homeruns.

The ULM fan constantly yelling throughout the entire game is really driving me crazy.

Good news is you won't have to hear them anymore. Dey Gone!!!!!

Tough game. Landry gave up 2 hits in the 2nd inning then shut down in order the next 13 or 14 batters. I guess Megan will pitch tomorrow?

I still believe she only gave up 1 hit. Just my opinion........

Agree....the ball did bounce, but it could have bounced from the webbing of Davis's glove, not the ground. Definitely a close call and the discussion Coach had with the umps had to be that the ump between second and third called that play an out, while the home plate guy called the runner safe. That had to be what Coach was arguing about.

Davis didn't make the catch. I watched it once I got back home.

The base ump called the out. The home plate ump tried to over rule him and he said no catch. Glasco was telling the plate umpire he can't over rule that call and he was like 100 feet away from the play when the base ump was right on top of the play. Replay got the call right.

Agreed, was sitting in outfield, she trapped it.

Louisiana softball won their opening game in the Sun Belt Tournament 3-1, behind starting pitcher Sam Landry.

Glasco had a good argument absent replay, but replay unequivocally confirmed the ball hit the ground before her glove.

Great job by Sam! You better get to her early or she usually gets stronger and is lights out. She was throwing harder in the 7th than in the 1st, 68 or 69 at the end.

Base umpire didn't make the out call until Davis held up the ball like she caught it. She deeked him.

She was throwing gas at the end of the game! Also, if you haven't read the article in the Advocate, Coach commented on how does a team go 20-2 and not get 1 pitcher first team all conference. Same for last year too, when we went 23-4. Sam had a couple of quotes as well:

“They were very aggressive, so I think I quickly learned that I could keep the ball not exactly on the plate and get them swinging,” Landry said. “That took me a few innings to figure out, because at first I was trying to go at them instead of walking them.”

“Without saying much, I think our pitchers are getting a little disrespected in the Sun Belt when it comes to all-conference teams,” Landry said. “I think the past two years not having a single one of our pitchers on first team doesn’t show our results. We’re out here working and we plan to prove them wrong.”
