SB Final: Louisiana 5, McNeese 4

[GoneGolfin]

The game tonight can lift the Cajuns (#14 .65527) over #13 Arkansas (.65596) as not much separates them. Alabama (.66052) (idle until Tennessee this weekend) and Oklahoma State (.66092) (hosts North Texas tonight) are also within RPI ranking striking distance. A win over McNeese, in addition to the benefits of beating a 33-15 team ranked 41 in the RPI, would also include an RPI Bonus of .0020 (just .0006 less than the one earned last night with the win over LSU). Of course, Arkansas has three games at LSU this weekend (not bonus eligible). So we could use some help from LSU.

Meanwhile, as discussed yesterday, #15 Florida State (.65424) is at #17 Florida (.64414) tonight (they play in Tallahassee next week). We want Florida to win this one (mostly to help separate Louisiana from Florida State re: national seed/host resume). Not much separates Louisiana and Florida State in RPI ... Florida State would receive an RPI bonus of .0026 should they win tonight. Florida (all other things being equal) will not catch the Cajuns tonight should both the Cajuns and Gators win. But Florida is higher in the national seed pecking order anyway.

FSU has series with North Carolina [.56289] and Syracuse [.53220] remaining.
Arkansas has LSU [.68370] and Ole Miss [.58688]
Alabama has Tennessee [.66818] and Auburn [.64239].
Louisiana has ULM [.53597] and Troy [.57071].

We should all be big fans of North Carolina, LSU and Tennessee this weekend.

We also want Auburn to drop at least one game to Ole Miss this weekend.

Back on topic for the Louisiana - McNeese game tonight. Our defense and our offense have improved considerably since March 13, when we played McNeese in our house.

With that in mind, and with the knowledge that Riassetto pitched last night and Landry probably should get as much rest as possible between now and the post season; who do you put in the circle against the Cowgirls?

[Cajunchuck]

I think Glasco said that Sam Ryan will start.

Some are. This one is not.

Some are. This one is not.

Might be just as well. A camera behind the plate that shows little else of the ballpark isn't exactly a fun way to see a game.

Let Cody and Bobby paint the picture.

This is not related to softball, but just made me laugh when thinking about the Southland, McNeese State, their "broadcasts" and all of it. "We're losing guys to that place!"

McNeese up 1-0 after 1. We have to stop walking people in the first inning.

After all the emotion of last night, the Cajuns are having to travel to McNeese. The Cowgirls have won 10 in a row. The Cajuns have to be tired. At this point, it looks like Chloe may have to come in to try to save the day. The question is, if that happens, how much does she have in the tank after last night?

Glasco with a really quick hook for Ryan & Landry gives up 2 hits, hits a batter and a wild pitch. 3-0 McNeesse, maybe a letdown after last nite. Didnt' expect this early.

Hoping it wouldn't happen, but was worried.

Glasco said last week he intended on pitching some other arms. But with the warming of a quick hook.

Got to hit our way back into it, I guess.

[RaginScotsman]

Back in it in a hurry.
