If UALR can hold on (Trojans leads WKU 7-1 T5th), UL works its way into a tie for second place with WKU at 6-3. Of course, the Cajuns meet the Hilltoppers next week in Bowling Green.

If Arkansas State can salvage a game against Troy (two one run losses to Troy thus far this weekend), the Cajuns can pull to within one game of the league leaders. ASU and Troy are tied 3-3 T5th in Jonesboro.

5 runs vs a very good fau team is 3 games is awesome.

Great job this weekend. We need this momentum going into a very long stretch of games away for the Tigue. Clutch hitting, great pitching and solid defense by the good guys. Go Cajuns!

_ Yes, several things here ...

1) Nobody was even remotely close to holding Fontenot on second base.
2) With a bases loaded, two out, 3-2 count, everyone was running on the wind-up.
3) Alvarez was pitching from the windup (not the stretch), allowing Fontenot a huge jump.
4) On the wild pitch (ball four) that got past the catcher, Fuselier did not need to hustle in for the score as it was a bases loaded walk. But he was moving on the pitch and fortunately Fontenot did not run up Fuselier's back-side (risking Fontenot passing him on the play). Passing Fuselier would have been a disaster.
5) Fontenot slides into home on a bang-bang play. I wonder if the ump even realized that there was a second Cajun runner attempting to score on the play ... as Fuselier and Fontenot were clustered together. He seemed a bit confused on the play.

Fontenot scoring not only gives the Cajuns the lead, but paves the way for a third run on a subsequent single.

When the play was over the FAU pitcher was jawing with the Cajun Bench. Prior to that play he had plunked a Cajun in the back and was fairly cocky about it with an heavy set of nodding as if to say thats what I wanted to do... So there was some jawing. Shortly thereafter he was pulled from the game which I was glad to see. he had been outstanding to that point. I was seated next to an FAU fan who said this happens to him. When things are going well he is almost unhittable but loses his cool quickly...

Well ... the Cajun that Alvarez plunked (Fontenot) was the Cajun that scored the second run on that play. A lot of good Alvarez's little rant did him.

After blowing a two run lead in the T9th, Middle Tennessee scored two in the B10th on a two-run shot to defeat South Alabama 13-11 and take 2/3 from the Jagaurs (the only two wins in conference for Middle).

Troy was the beneficiary of ASU's fourth error of the day, breaking a 3-3 tie in the T9th with two runs. ASU loaded the bases with one out in the B9th, but could do no more. Troy sweeps ASU with the 5-3 win.

Sun Belt Standings (through this weekend) ...

Troy 8-1, 22-5
Western Kentucky 6-3, 17-11
Louisiana 6-3, 16-11
