2007 Fall Ball World Series decided 4 games to 2

[J-Town Cajun]

What I saw today

Not much offense but solid pitching

Attendance about 300

Randall Bulliard a redshirt frosh. pitched very well

Buddy Glass although a little wild a times pitched good

Will Long has not shown much. Needs to step up D and O.

Chance Harst hit a HR and is earning a spot in the starting line up

Travis Whipple hit his 2nd HR in as many games

Gabe Begnaud has a lot potential and shows a good bat, but runs with a severe limp. He did leg out a double.

Josh Logan did play 2nd again. To me he is better fit in the OF

I still like Brian Bowman potential

Thad Griffin got another hit.

Red/Black tied at 1 apiece. See you at the Tigue.

Behind a stellar pitching performance by redshirt freshman Randall Buillard of Westminster Christian, the Red team rebounded from Friday night's loss to defeat the Black squad 6-1 in game two of UL's Red-Black Fall World Series Saturday afternoon. Red's victory evens the best-of-seven series at 1-1. Bulliard (1-0), who took a no-hitter into the fifth inning until it was broken up, allowed one run on two hits while striking out six batters in 5 1/3 innings. Senior John Zorich surrendered just one hit in 1 2/3 innings of relief. Senior Buddy Glass took the loss for the Black team, a day after senior starter Hunter Moody suffered the loss for the Red squad. Glass (0-1) was touched for three runs on two hits, while striking out six batters in 4 2/3 innings of work. Relievers Blake Haagen and Ethan Hebert combined to allow the other three Red runs.

Summary of scrimmage 3

Black wins 8-7

True freshman Blake Wascom pitched a very good game and got the win

Brian Bowman got another hit to the opposite field. This guy has serious talent

Leif Dubois is true freshman who is a lefty and pitched well in relief

Luke Wagley a JC transfer came in a struck out the only batter he faced for the save

Greg Fontenot made another good play at short. Great hands

Matt Hicks hit a double off the wall

Kolin Hatfield hit a double late in the game to make it close

Travis Whipple got another solid hit

Scott Hawkins hit a triple

Will Long got a nice hit from the left side, but still struggles defensively

Matt Broussard pitched a couple of innings of relief, did ok

Blaine Lafeur earns his captain tag. He hustles every play. He threw out Josh Logan at third trying to steal. He is struggling with the bat

Chance Harst hit another HR and played 3rd today.

Danny Farquhar pitched 1 inning in relief. Looks even stronger than before. He did give up one run. He cut his hair, almost did not recognize him

There was more offense today but we are mainly pitching freshman. We have at least 4 errors but overall I am impressed with the vets and frosh.

Does anyone else think that Greg Fontenot have a chance to win the starting postion at SS? Greg has showed a very good glove at SS & a strong arm.

William Long's play at SS has been very marginal to say the least.

Long has a better bat and can hit from both sides of the plate but if he does not improve his glove we may see Fontenot, at least as a defensive replacement. We have seen Robe go with glove over bat before i.e. Devon Bourque last 2 years.

Long hasn't shown he can hit period. He played with an injured hand last year, but his bat has been less then impressive during the games. Fontenot was hitting around .400 for the fall. I don't know what his stats are right now.

Griffen, Whipple, Benzel, Goulas, Bowman and Fontenot have all been impressive with the bats this fall. Most of these kids could make the roster.

Thanks for the update on today's game. I wasn't able to make it today for obvious reasons (WHO DAT!!!!).

I have been impressed with Benzel's play at 3B. He looks to be very solid defensively. He also swings the bat very well.

I was able to play a few games with Whipple this past summer and he showed some power in the few games that he played. But I was really surprised at the power he is showing this fall. The ball he hit Friday night was out the ball park by a mile.

I think Goulas & Bowman might get red-shirted just because we have to much upper classmen with tallent in the OF. But they will be our outfield of the future. Both can play!

Future is looking bright for Cajun baseball!

Team looked very complete.

If Fontenot steps in at SS, we will have a hole. Very good glove and hands, good contact hitter, but below average arm for a SS. Plenty enough arm for 2nd.

That will be an interesting call. Robe loves Long, but so far I just don't see it.
