LAFAYETTE, La. — The Ragin’ Cajuns baseball team continued their strong start to the season this weekend, winning the three-game series against UC San Diego 2-1. Their only loss came on Friday.
Saturday, pitcher Andrew Herrmann threw a one-hitter with 13 strikeouts, dominating the Tritons in a commanding performance. On Sunday, JR Tollett pitched six strong innings, and the Louisiana bullpen held on late as the Cajuns edged UC San Diego 4-3.
Louisiana jumped out early and added an insurance run in the sixth, holding off a late Tritons rally. Reliever Cody Brasch closed the game for his second save of the season. With the weekend sweep, the Cajuns have now won eight of their last nine games.
The team will turn its attention to an in-state showdown Wednesday night, when they host defending national champion LSU at M.L. Tigue Moore Field. The matchup, featuring two of Louisiana’s premier baseball programs, is expected to sell out.
