A Season of Highs and Lows

Louisiana’s 2025 baseball season was a rollercoaster of fleeting highs and crushing lows. Nowhere was this more evident than in the final game of the year – a wild 17-13 slugfest loss to Marshall in the Sun Belt Tournament. The Ragin’ Cajuns exploded for 17 hits and led 3-0 early, showing their explosive potential, but a flurry of defensive miscues and shaky pitching saw the lead – and the season – slip away. That defeat in Montgomery sealed a 27-31 record and marked the first time since 2021 that Louisiana missed out on an NCAA Regional berth. It was a bitter end that starkly contrasted with the optimism that surrounded the program just a year prior, when the Cajuns were coming off a 42-win campaign and a conference title run in 2024.
