We did not score on an error.

Clement put down a beautiful squeeze bunt with Butler sliding in safely at home to tie the game. We put pressure on them, and they broke. Call it what you will, but we made our own luck.



...after a walk and an error.

I've said it in another thread and I'll say it again, we gave ourselves a chance to win in the end because we played great defense and pitched great after that solo bomb in the 1st inning. Keeping it a 1-0 game till the end is just as important to us winning as getting HBP in the last at bat.



When you score the tying run based on a walk and an error, you should recognize the good fortune.

When you score the winning run on a HBP after a swinging bunt, you should recognize the good fortune.

Lange has a lower era then Romero from Houston. I'd love to see the Cajuns win but I'm not ignorant to the fact that Lange is probably one of the three best pitchers in America. Poche has had his inconsistent moments but ULL has a very left handed line up and this could play well for Poche.

For ULL to have a chance they have to consistently barrel up fastballs early in counts. Being aggressive early and having it pay off, being able to move runners and pressure LSU with their bunt and hit run game (Tiger fans can laugh but the Cajuns execute base hit bunts and hit and runs as well as anyone in college baseball) and then have timely hitting at crucial times.

On the mound we have to slow the game way down on the mound which is very anti-Cajun pitching system in order to manage the LSU run game. Going to need to pitch into some double plays and really just have great d all weekend. LSU offense is fantastic. This is going to chap Tiger fan's asses but expect Cajun pitchers to go up and in often to do whatever they can to move LSU hitter's feet and make them uncomfortable. LSU fans will be on this board yelling about no class ULL trying to throw at guys but I promise its not to give you free base runners, its to make hitters uncomfortable.

Cajun pitchers have to keep it close and give the hitters a punchers chance. If LSU scores more then 5 runs they will win these games. Cajuns need to hope for the 3-2, 4-2 type of game.
