Cajuns Rally to Beat McNeese 4-3, Break Losing Streak
The Cajuns are now 21-15 on the season and 15-6 at home.
Head coach Matt Deggs said the team showed him a lot in the victory after a disappointing weekend in Mobile, Alabama. We let Cajun nation down against South Alabama, Deggs said. We responded tonight. When we win the attitude, approach, and toughness game, we re ok. Anything else is inexcusable.
Junior pitcher Austin Perrin started for Louisiana and threw five innings, allowing four hits and three unearned runs while striking out five.
The McNeese offense got to the Cajuns starter in the third inning thanks to some defensive miscues in the frame. Two errors and a bunt single loaded the bases with no outs. Perrin came back with a strikeout, but a groundout gave the Cowboys their first lead of the night. A two-out two-run double was the biggest hit of the inning and allowed McNeese to jump out 3-0.
