SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The defending Sun Belt Champion Louisiana baseball team is set to open the 2015 season Friday at 6 p.m. in the first of three games against UTSA at Roadrunner Park.
Game two of the series is set for 2 p.m. on Saturday, while the third and final game of the series is slated for 1 p.m. on Sunday. Fans can listen to all three games live on News Radio KPEL 96.5 FM with Dan McDonald making the call and Jeff Schneider providing color. Live stats are available for the series on GoUTSA.com.
The Cajuns will open the series with sophomore right-hander Chris Charpentier on the mound Friday night. Freshman right-hander Evan Guillory is scheduled to make the start on Saturday and senior right-hander Greg Milhorn has been tabbed as the Sunday starter. Charpentier was 1-0 in 2014 with his lone start coming against Jackson State in the Lafayette Regional. Milhorn went 5-2 a year ago including a victory at LSU.
The Roadrunners will counter with junior right-hander Brock Hartson on Friday, junior left-hander Nolan Trabanino on Saturday and senior left-hander Cody Brannon on Sunday. Hartson was 7-3 with a 2.24 ERA in 2014, while Trabanino had a team-best nine wins with a 2.43 ERA.
Junior All-American Blake Trahan anchors a Ragin' Cajuns offensive that is missing a good portion of its production from a year ago losing seven of 10 everyday players. Preseason All-Sun Belt selection Dylan Butler and senior Tyler Girouard join Trahan as the only three returning players to post 30-plus RBI in 2014.
UTSA is missing its top three hitters from a year ago, with John Bormann and Jesse Baker the top two returning hitters on this year's squad. Bormann hit .288 with 12 doubles, four home runs and 24 RBI and Baker had a .273 average with 12 doubles, 3 triples, six home runs, 37 RBI and a team-best 11 stolen bases.
Following the series against UTSA, the Cajuns will head up I-49 north Natchitoches, La. to face in-state foe Northwestern State in a mid-week contest on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Louisiana's home opener is Feb. 20-22 against Stony Brook at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field. Season tickets are still available for the 2015 season. Fans can order tickets by visiting RaginCajuns.com or by calling (337) 265-2100.
