ULL rips Jackson State to stay alive in Baton Rouge Regional

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  --  Nine relatively quiet innings at the plate might have gnawed at Louisiana-Lafayette.

As it turned out, Jackson State pitching was the perfect remedy.

Subdued in their NCAA tournament regional opener, the Ragin’ Cajuns woke up in a 15-1 elimination-game rout Saturday afternoon at Alex Box Stadium, pounding out 19 hits and recovering from an early one-run deficit to survive into Sunday.

ULL (42-19) faces the loser from the Sam Houston State-LSU matchup at 2 p.m. Sunday in another elimination game.

“We’ve just got to survive and advance,” ULL coach Tony Robichaux said. “We’ve got enough hitting to get through this.”
