Austin Perrin was great in his start against McNeese on Wednesday night. In his first start since May of 2019, Perrin only surrendered one hit through five innings and fanned seven batters, the second-most of his career.
Winning is Fun.
Louisiana ended last year winning six of its last seven games and it carried into this season as well. Putting together last year's hot streak and this year's start, the Ragin' Cajuns have won 13 of their last 17 games, the best streak since 2017 when the Cajuns went 13-3-1 from March 29 to April 25.
Did someone order Arrighetti with a side of dominance
In his first start at Louisiana, Spencer Arrighetti tossed 6.1 innings of one-hit baseball against Louisiana Tech, who is hitting .329 as a team this year. Arrighetti also picked up a save in his second appearance of the week against Rice, sealing a 5-3 win for the Cajuns. Arrighetti was the Sun Belt Pitcher of the Week (March 2) and is now the Saturday starter for Louisiana.
What you Swingin' WIllis
On Tuesday night against Louisiana Tech, CJ Willis tied the program record for doubles in a single game with three. Willis is the first player since Kyle Clement (April 19, 2016 vs. Nicholls State) to record three doubles in the same game.
Need a Talley
