After going on the road in 2022, LSU Softball is back home hosting its own Regional. And it wouldn’t be a Baton Rouge Regional without the UL-Lafayette Cajuns, who are the 2-seed at Tiger Park this weekend.
The Tigers and Cajuns are 9-9 against each other in postseason play across 10 regionals, nine of which in Baton Rouge. The Cajuns won three of those regionals, while the Tigers won five. And because they both won Friday, they will meet at least once more.
The rivalry is easy to understand given the two schools are the two premiere softball programs in the state of Louisiana, but the history goes deeper than that.
