LAFAYETTE – Louisiana Baseball finds itself in a familiar position entering the 2019 season after being selected as the preseason favorite to win the Sun Belt's West Division for the third-straight season, the conference office announced on Wednesday morning.
Â
The Ragin' Cajuns claimed 71 points in the poll and received 11 of the 12 first place votes, with Little Rock staking claim to the final first-place vote.
Â
"It's an honor to be recognized as the preseason favorite," head coach Tony Robichaux said. "We have a tremendous group of young men who have committed to putting in the work both on and off the field that have led to this recognition. That said, we still have plenty that we need to accomplish in order to achieve our goals."
