Tulane Routes Cajuns, 10-1

The Cajun Baseball Team hitting woes continued Wednesday night in New Orleans against Tulane, as the Cajuns managed to score one run in route to a 10-1 loss to the Green Wave.

Tulane (5-0) held Louisiana (2-3) to one hit until the eighth inning. Three of Louisiana’s five hits came from freshmen.

Tulane scored nine runs in the first five innings, while its pitching staff held No. 25 Louisiana to five hits as the 18th-ranked Green Wave shut down the Ragin’ Cajuns 10-1 Wednesday night at Turchin Stadium.

Cy Primeaux drove in Louisiana’s only run on a RBI single in the ninth inning.

Freshmen Travis Whipple, Matt Goulas and Dillon Guillory each had one hit in the game.

Senior John Zorich made his first start on the mound since a 3 1/3-inning performance against McNeese State on March 20, 2007. However, Zorich’s (0-1) season debut didn’t last long as the senior survived 2 2/3 innings, allowing six runs on six hits.

Matt Broussard lasted 1 2/3 innings in middle relief, giving up three runs on four hits. Luke Wagley allowed just three base runners – one hit, two walks – in 2 2/3 innings of relief with two strikeouts.

The Ragin' Cajuns return to action Friday when they host the Southern Miss Golden Eagles in their home opener at M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field for a 6:30 p.m. first pitch. Friday will also serve as “Gene Bacque Night” as the Ragin’ Cajuns will honor former Cajun Gene Bacque, who later became one of the best pitchers in Japanese Baseball history.
