LAFAYETTE — When Gunner Leger toes the rubber in Friday night’s key Sun Belt matchup against South Alabama, his primary focus — as it should be — will be on getting the Jaguars’ hitters out.
But the Louisiana-Lafayette sophomore isn’t so naïve as to not understand what else he’s going up against. While Leger won’t face him in the batter’s box, he knows he’s got another strong force working against him in South Alabama ace Kevin Hill.
“I think you’ve got to recognize who else is throwing, you know?” Leger said. “You’ve got to recognize that if you give up three, four runs, he’s probably going to be able to hold that lead.
