Saturday, February 7, 2004
LAFAYETTE-Josh Kohrs picked up the win with Jeremy Whipple getting the save for the Cajuns squad in a Fan Day exhibition Saturday at M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field. Former Ragin Cajuns pitcher Trey Bullinger took the loss for the pro team after walking in the go ahead run in the seventh.
Jered Salazar set the tone early in the game with two strikeouts while only allowing a pair of singles in the first two innings.
John Coker led off the bottom of the first inning with a stand-up triple. Josh Landry brought him around to score with an RBI double.
Coker came around to score again in the third inning for the Cajuns after being issued a walk by Andy Gros. Landry came through again, this time with a single, to advance the runner to second. A single off the bat of shortstop Michah Cockrell brought Coker around pulling the Cajuns ahead 2-0.
Kevin Ardoin entered the game to get work in during the third and fourth innings. He tallied two strikeouts in the third and gave up a homerun to former Cajun Ryan Gill with two outs in the fourth.
Sophomore lefty Brandt Sanders also put in two solid innings striking out the side in the sixth. The second run for the pro team came on a throwing error charged to Sanders with two outs in the fifth that allowed Walter Guillory to cross the plate for the veteran squad.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Trey Bullinger walked Brandon Montemayor, Justin Bourque and Justin Merindino to load the bases before settling down to strikeout Devon Bourque. Coker picked up an RBI as he watched ball 4 sail past him on a full count bringing in Montemayor.
For good measure in the eighth, relief catcher Justin Morgan doubled off of pitcher Ryan Gill and was brought around to score two batters later on a Montemayor single.
Whipple came in to seal the deal in the ninth inning by getting Corey Coles to fly out to second and Rick Haydel to ground out to the third base side. Whipple also struck out Chase Lambin to preserve the win and earn the save.
