A schedule adjustment to the Louisiana-LSU softball season series has been made, with the date of the Baton Rouge matchup being moved from March to April.
The contest at Tiger Park, which kicks off the midweek home-and-home series between the two programs, has been changed to Tuesday, April 16.
First pitch remains at 6:00 p.m.
With the adjustment, the UL-LSU season series now turns into a late-April showdown between the two NCAA Tournament contenders, with possible host-site implications. One week after meeting in Baton Rouge, the Cajuns and Tigers will complete the midweek home-and-home arrangement on Tuesday, April 23 at 6:00 p.m. at Lamson Park.

ABOUT LOUISIANA
Preseason ranked No. 21 Louisiana (50-16, 22-2 Sun Belt in 2023) is coming off a fourth consecutive Sun Belt Conference regular season and tournament championship, the program's 24th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, a No. 9 RPI rating, a Top 20 finish across the board in all major national polls, and a trip to the NCAA Super Regional round last spring.
With a now veteran-laden roster, as head coach Gerry Glasco's No. 1 recruiting Class of 2022 now enters their junior campaign, plus the key summer transfer additions highlighted by the Florida duo of Lexie Delbrey and Sam Roe, there's plenty reason enough for heightened expectations in the coming spring season.
This season the Ragin' Cajuns welcome a pair of new faces to the coaching staff in defensive coach Hunter Veach and hitting coach Shellie Landry, an All-American alumnae who competed for the program from 2013-16. Their addition provides Glasco with a specific coach for every facet of the game, to go along with pitching coach Justin Robichaux.
