Storylines
Kings of the Midweek
The Louisiana Ragin Cajuns have been tremendous in the midweek games recently, especially when they play against some solid programs like LSU, Tulane, and McNeese. With a rare two-game set this week against Southern Miss, this could give this team some much-needed momentum.
How Long Will Hogan Harris Go?
Hogan Harris had an outstanding outing last weekend against LSU and will be called upon once again to try and turn the Cajuns good fortunes around. However, we are all wondering about how long he’ll go tonight. He seems to have improved since coming back from injury, but it seems like the coaching staff will have a leash on him of five innings at the most. If he goes any more, that could show them that he is near 100 percent and ready to switch the pitching rotation around before the series against Appalachian State
