That couldn’t have played out any better for the Cajuns. Run rule the first game and only use 3 pitchers in a doubleheader. Superb job all around!Comment

GAME 2 – LOUISIANA 5, GEORGIA STATE 1
Brasch (4-2) notched his second straight quality start after allowing one hit, retiring 15 straight batters and striking out three over 6.2 innings of work. Tyler Papenbrock pitched the final 2.1 innings to earn his first save of the season.
Louisiana broke open a scoreless game in the third as Markle led off with a single and scored on Lewis' RBI double to center. Amedee followed with an RBI single to right field off GSU starter Michael Caruso (5-6) to give the Cajuns a 2-0 lead.
With a 2-0 lead in the seventh, Papenbrock came in to relieve Brasch after Griffith reached on a two-out, two-base error and got Bass to ground out to second to preserve the lead.
The Cajuns increased their lead to 3-0 in the bottom half of the frame as Brown drew a bases-loaded walk off GSU reliever Nicholas Holbrook and scored twice in the eighth after the Panthers cut the deficit to 3-1 in the eighth on Sam Silas drove in Killingsworth on an RBI groundout.
LaSalle reached on a fielder's choice and Markle was hit by a pitch before Collins singled through the left side to drive in LaSalle for a 4-1 lead. After a GSU error moved both runners into scoring position, Lewis chopped an RBI single up the third-base line to plate Markle.
Louisiana recorded 12 hits off four GSU pitchers with Collins, Rodriguez and Spalitta recording two hit each. The combination of Brasch and Papenbrock produced 16 groundball outs and allowed four base runners on the day.

That was a great job of pitching by the staff. Crazy stuff to give up only 6 hits in 16 innings.
Funniest thing was seeing the pitcher blow the bunt foul down the line. And you think you’ve seen everything in Diamond sports.Comment
