Storylines
Streaking
The Cajuns are really putting it together, winning five straight last week, including an offensive outburst against App State in the second game of the doubleheader. Considering how good the Bulldogs have been this season, this could be a big game for both parties involved.
Tough Pitching Staff
The Bulldogs pitching staff on the whole is very good, combining for a 2.52 ERA, third in the entire nation. Louisiana’s offense looked really good in Boone, North Carolina but they’ll be put to the test against a good starter in Leal and a bullpen to be wary of.
