Louisiana vs Texas

[Cajunsmike]

_ Agree we need to swing the bats. What concerns me is that our biggest bat was lame. It was very obvious that Orgeron was having trouble. I'm hoping it doesn't get worse over night. _

Didn't Christie get two RBI hits in the Texas game? Hopefully she can continue that tomorrow. As far as Ashley is concerned, she is just about my favorite athlete on campus and may be the most accomplished. She is beautiful, brilliant academically, a wonderful athlete, has the heart of a lion, and is mentally tough as they come. Recall her comeback from injury. Despite all that she is still a human being and the challenge in front of the entire team tomorrow is as difficult as we have faced in a long time.

She did but was having a hard time on the bases and had a pinch runner at one point. My concern is that whatever is bothering her tightens up overnight and makes it difficult to play tomorrow.

My nine-year old daughter (Megan) was briefly able to meet Ashley after the game. Megan said hello and Ashley gave her a high five. It made Megan's night.

I love stories like that.

Simple answer, yes.

Long answer, in the first game today while Texas State had the bases loaded. The batter hit a ball back up toward her, she fielded it, and when she planted her foot to throw the runner out at first, her knee she buckled under her and she fell to the ground. They brought out an air cast, and crutches. She crutched off the field with it already in the air cast. It did not look good. I'd guess (just guessing) that she tore her ACL or MCL, and is done. Ashley came in and finished the game, and got the win.

I've heard NOTHING since then. I was mainly listening to the baseball game tonight while watching the softball game.

She was out of the air cast after the game, but still on crutches. One of the UL personnel thought it was simply a sprain. If she tore her ACL, she would feel a burning sensation and would likely know. Hopefully it is just a sprain.

Preliminary says a sprain.

Will need an MRI to know the full extent of the injury.

In the post-game video, when the two teams were filing past each other, I saw someone in uniform on crutches in the line. She was putting some weight on the bad leg. That would appear to be a good sign that it may not be an ACL. Also, if it were that bad, I doubt the coaches would be letting her go out to the post-game line.

[CajunRagin88]

An ACL is one of the most deceptive knee injuries because it is surprisingly the least painful.

I'm optimistic that its just a sprain, but she's done for this regional unless she is super woman and heals overnight.

If we win out today and Tenn loses 1 game is there a chance that the Cajuns host the super regional against Okie State?

I think so because we would have beaten the higher seed. Don't quote me though, it might fall on who is the remaining highest seed
