Cajuns win 6-1

[Turner]

A road win. YES Does Justin Merendino do anything in between hitting homeruns and bunting? That is all I hear him doing but I will take it, because no matter what they say the boy has range.

JONESBORO, Ark. - Louisiana's Ragin' Cajun baseball team got a better plate performance, better pitching and better defense than they did 18 hours earlier, and the result was an evening up of their Sun Belt Conference series with Arkansas State here Saturday.

The Cajuns got six shutout innings from Austin Faught, committed no errors and turned two double plays, and scored five two-out runs on the way to a 6-1 win over the Indians.

"Today, we came back and did the things we need to do to win," said Cajun coach Tony Robichaux. "It's simple. You've got to pitch, play defense and get timely hitting, and that's what we did today."

That's what ASU (20-9, 2-3 Sun Belt) had done in a 6-2 win on Friday, but the 15th-ranked Cajuns (24-6, 3-2) scored five runs in the first four innings off Indian loser Blake Ring (4-4).

Two of the Cajuns' runs came on squeeze bunts, and two more scored on Justin Merendino's second homer in as many days, a two-run shot that came in a three-run fourth inning.

I call them "Merendino Cherry Bombs" and "cherry drops."

Here is a VIDEO LINK to one of Justin's 2004 Merindino Cherry Bombs.
