Storylines
How Long is Hogan’s Leash Tonight?
Hogan Harris has been looking really good the last few weeks and it’s expected that the Cajuns are ready to let him rip after his outing against Southern Miss. However, just how long does he stay out there against a solid McNeese team? I’d expect him to stay out there for at most six innings since it seems like he’s getting himself back up to speed.
Offense Needs to Produce More Runs
Sunday’s 4-2 loss was another bad loss for a number of reasons, especially when you lose in the way that they did. The pitching staff wasn’t helped by an offense that held in check for much of the ballgame. It’ll require a 180 for the Cajuns to get a win and more importantly, give Harris some run support.
