Who starts on the bump?

[cajundiehard]

I'm guessing it's going to be Cole Flannagan. Hopefully the bats can come through big, again!

Game start?

Game start?

projected to start at 7 pm. we'll see what Mother Nature decides to do though.

[cajunref]

I am guessing Sawyer Pruitt to start.

[Cajuns98]

Pruitt has only thrown 47 pitches this week and last threw Thursday. He’d be my bet to start tonight. Pearson also should be fresh and able to give them some length.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we just won the whole thing!!!!🤗🤩🏆🍺🤪

I am guessing Sawyer Pruitt to start.

Good thought. Very possible. He was solid against them the first game and held them scoreless in the pitcher's dual vs. Froehlich in game 1 in San Marcos. Froehlich vs. Pruitt would be a re-match of that game.

I thought he threw last night???

[SlickRick]

Espn shows the game start at 6pm. Can anyone confirm?

[cajundiehard]

I thought he threw last night???

Nope. Just Tollett, Hermann, and Brasch (only 19 pitches).

Donovan LaSalle belted two home runs and drove in four runs as the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns pulled away late for a 12-6 victory over Texas State on Saturday in the Sun Belt Conference Baseball Tournament at Riddle-Pace Field.

Texas State answered with a run in the bottom half of the second inning before Louisiana added two more in the third on an RBI single by Lee Amedee and an RBI double from Markle.

The Bobcats battled back with two runs in the third inning on Jackson Cotton's two-run single before Clayton Namken's RBI single in the fourth tied the game at 4-4.

After both teams traded scoreless innings through the sixth, the Bobcats took their first lead of the day on Cotton's sacrifice fly to left.

Louisiana responded with a decisive six-run eighth inning. Mark Collins started the rally with a game-tying RBI double before Maddox Mandino added a go-ahead, two-run single. Steven Spalitta followed with an RBI single, and Colt Brown capped the inning with a two-run single after a Texas State error extended the frame.

LaSalle added insurance in the ninth with his second two-run homer of the game – a 456-blast – giving him 10 home runs on the season.

Brown finished 2-for-5 with three RBIs for Louisiana, while Markle collected two hits and an RBI. Collins, Mandino and Spalitta each drove in a run during the eighth-inning surge.

Parker Smith (3-3) earned the victory in relief for Louisiana, tossing the final 5.0 innings while allowing two runs and striking out three. Tyler Papenbrock allowed one hit over 2.0-plus innings with Garret Carter providing 2.0 innings of relief before Smith entered in the fifth inning.

Namken led Texas State, going 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the ninth and two RBIs. Rashawn Galloway, Justin Vossos and Jaquae Stewart each added doubles for the Bobcats.

Dylan Kerbow (1-1) took the loss for Texas State after allowing three runs in the eighth inning. Gutierrez allowed four runs and walked three in 2.0 innings for the Bobcats before Alec Beversdorf fanned four batters and allowed three hits in 4.0 scoreless innings of relief.
