Tide Overlooking Cajuns

[NewsCopy]

2:30 p.m. - Tulane vs. Southern

6:30 p.m. - UL vs. Alabama

Tulane will handle all ticket sales with tickets available to the general public beginning Thursday. Information on tickets is available from the Tulane Ticket Office at (504) 861-WAVE.

The University of Louisiana's Ragin' Cajun baseball team will be in a familiar place and in familiar company Friday when competition opens in the NCAA Regional Championships.

The Cajuns play in the New Orleans regional, hosted by Tulane, and will be one of three Louisiana teams in that four-team tournament. UL (47-17) plays Alabama at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Tulane's Turchin Stadium, following an opening matchup between Tulane and Southern University at 2:30 p.m.

That is one of two NCAA Regionals within a short drive of each other, with LSU's Tigers also hosting one of the NCAA's 16 four-team opening rounds. LSU plays Marist of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., at 1 p.m. Friday at Alex Box Stadium followed by Natchitoches' Northwestern State meeting Rice at 6 p.m.

"That says a lot for Louisiana baseball," Cajun coach Tony Robichaux said Monday. "To get five teams in is a compliment to all of them, and every one of them deserves to be there."

First off, remember that the Crimson Tide is nothing but a menstrual flow!!! Secondly, this team will eat any SEC team for breakfast. I do not fear any SEC team, mainly because they are all hitting with avg pitching! The Cajuns can swing the bats with any SEC team and have better pitching than most of the SEC teams--at least up until the last two weeks! Quite honestly, the Wave are a very good team and the Cajuns are going to have to play their best to win that one!
