As the regular season draws to a close, the University of Louisiana’s baseball squad is laser‑focused on clinching a berth in the Sun Belt Conference tournament. Sitting sixth in the league standings, the Ragin’ Cajuns know that every remaining game carries weight.
The final series against Coastal Carolina
The Chanticleers, ranked No. 20 in the nation and perched atop the conference with a 20‑7 record, travel to Lafayette for a three‑game set that will be streamed live on ESPN+. Thursday and Friday’s contests are slated for 6 p.m., with Saturday’s finale scheduled for a 2 p.m. start.
Louisiana holds a modest edge in the all‑time series, leading 12‑9‑1, and the two programs have traded wins in April 2024, underscoring the competitiveness of the matchup.
Coach Matt Deggs and his staff have emphasized discipline and pitching depth, hoping to translate home‑field advantage into a decisive swing in the standings. The outcome could also influence seeding for the NCAA regionals, adding extra pressure to the lineup.
