It was never going to be easy. Heck, just getting the games played was a chore, as the weather steadfastly refused to cooperate all weekend long.
But as the Tigers waited out a rain delay which stretched through all of Saturday afternoon and into the night, they were forced to confront the very real possibility that they were going to get eliminated at home to the Ragin’ Cajuns. Again.
LSU had never beaten ULL at Tiger Park, and the Cajuns extended that streak on Saturday. ULL had already cut the LSU lead to 2-1 in the fifth inning when DJ Sanders crushed a three-run homer that proved to be the winning margin.
