LAFAYETTE — In a matchup of strength against strength this past weekend, Florida’s outstanding pitching shut down the Louisiana-Lafayette softball team’s high-octane offense, limiting the Ragin’ Cajuns to two runs in the three-game series.
Florida junior left-hander Delanie Gourley in particular had Cajuns coach Mike Lotief scratching his head.
“That left-handed kid? She was throwing 70, so that’s equivalent to over 100 miles an hour in baseball,” Lotief said Monday. “She’s cutting it. She’s breaking it in. She’s breaking it up. She’s breaking it out. She’s in all quadrants. She can go easy, and she can go extra — she can go over the 70.
