The Ragin Cajuns might have punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament last night with a five to four win over Coastal Carolina. It’s U-L Lafayette’s fourth win over Coastal in five games over the last eight days.

On Thursday night, the Cajuns could not hold on to a three to nothing lead in in the ninth inning and lost to Texas State four to three. Last night, U-L Lafayette jumped out to a 5-to-nothing lead and had to hold on for dear life.

Offensively Colt Brown had a two-run double and Drew Markle had a two-run single. Andrew Hermann pitched five innings out of the bullpen for his seventh win and Cody Brasch pitched the ninth inning for his sixth save.

UL Lafayette will play Texas State this morning at 9 AM and will have to win twice to reach the Sun Belt Finals.

McNeese lost two to one to Lamar last night as the Cardinals win the Southland Tournament Championship Series two games to nothing.

It was all Alabama in the first game of the Super Regional Series against LSU as the Crimson Tide rolled last night seven to nothing. The Tigers had just one hit, a leadoff double by Jalia Lassiter and that was it. LSU’ s starting pitcher Paytn Monticelli suffered the loss as she gave up six runs. The Tigers will try to stave off elimination and even up the series at one game a piece when the two teams play at 2 PM today.

Louisiana Tech played its last Conference USA game yesterday. A six to nothing loss to Liberty in the Conference USA Tournament. Coach Lane Burroughs not happy with the season. Tech finished with a 33-and-25 record and Burroughs says they have to get better as the Dogs move into the Sun Belt.
