Christi and her USA team secured a win over Japan tonight in the World Cup of Softball. The game went seven innings and the score was 6-4. The young team, with only 6 USA National Team veterans, came together to beat a very seasoned Japanese team. The Japanese team had many players who had played in and won the gold at the 2008 Olympics.
Many of the players on the USA team are still in college and have never suited up in the USA uniform.

Good Job, USA Eagles!

_ Let's hope they cover Christi's big game in tomorrows advertiser. _

Surely you can't be so foolish young grasshopper. The Daily Advertiser will be too busy covering an LSU story or how a high school football players' three legged, one eyed, deaf and blind dog inspired him to cut his hair which in turn made him into a faster athlete. Just kidding about the latter but definitely don't get high hopes with the crummy paper in Lafayette we have to deal with.

why didn't Christi play tonight?

She had a pinch hit at-bat that ended in a deep fly, before that she just missed what would have easily been a double but it went foul. As for Christi not getting a lot of playing time... this USA team is just ridiculously deep and it is a matter of the situation and who Ken Eriksen feels fits the need. Obviously he likes her a lot for him to consistently call her up in pinch hit situations.

Consider this; Megan Langenfeld who is an incredible player only had a pinch hit at-bat tonight and spent the rest of the night cheering the team on from the dugout with Christi and co.

Although Christi didn't play, they did do about a 20 second interview with her.

_ I hope they do to, but they missed the boat not telling Acadiana about the game. _

"When her name comes on the TV screen and they say Christi Orgeron from Louisiana and she's playing for the Ragin' Cajuns, that gives you a sense of pride," UL co-head coach Michael Lotief said. "She's the first Louisiana kid to represent our team and our ...
