LAFAYETTE — The Louisiana-Lafayette baseball team faces a very different scenario this week at the Sun Belt Conference tournament.
The top-seeded Ragin’ Cajuns (37-19) take a six-game winning streak into Wednesday’s 7:30 p.m. first-round game against Arkansas State in San Marcos, Texas. UL-Lafayette has won eight straight Sun Belt series as it seeks a third straight league tournament title.
The Cajuns were the nation’s top-ranked team in two polls two years ago when they won the league tournament. Last season, UL-Lafayette lost its first tournament game to Texas State, then had to win five straight games to capture the title.
