BB Final: Louisiana 5, Jackson State 0

2-0 Cajuns Btm 5th

A win tonight over Jackson State would provide the Cajuns a modest bump in RPI of .00147 ... enough to move up one spot in the RPI rankings (as they stand now and all other things being equal).

This is an example of a low risk/modest reward from the RPI perspective. Despite Jackson State having an RPI ranking of 269 (out of 305 schools), their 26-16 record actually increases the Cajuns' SOS (slightly) by .00026. Couple this with a win and you have a modest bump in RPI. If it were a road win, the RPI jump would be an additional .00106 ... for a total of .00253.

This is also an example where playing a team like #269 Jackson State helps your RPI more than playing certain teams ranked 100 spots higher ... or more.

Hopefully we keep having the Tigers on the schedule. Dan mentioned aside from last year we hadn’t seen them since 2015. If I heard correctly, since their coach arrived in ‘07 they’ve had a winning record every year. That’s a pretty solid bet each year that they won’t hurt you.

We have swung at a lot of ball 4's tonight ... resulting in a number of popups. The last one with the bases loaded.

Take the walks that are given to you. Especially when it is an RBI.

Cajuns holding on to 2-0 lead, bottom of 8th. Jackson St. pitcher did a good job.

That was painful

The most upset I’ve been after a Cajuns baseball game. I’m sure many felt the same. The words “are you serious” were mentioned about 100 times on the ride home.

Not the best offensive game by the Cajuns but I will take the win. Pitchers did their job. The other team can't win if they don't score.
