Series History
The Camels and Ragin' Cajuns have never met. Campbell's only prior trip to the state of Louisiana was to face Southeastern Louisiana in 1995.Â
Â
Know Your Opponent
Louisiana enters the weekend 7-1, with series wins over Rice and BYU, along with a midweek win over McNeese State.Â
Â
The Ragin' Cajuns are led by first baseman Carson Roccaforte, who was named to the Golden Spikes Preseason Watch List. The senior hit a team-high .374 with 16 HR and 68 RBI a season ago. Â
Â
Led by fourth-year head coach Matt Deggs, Louisiana finished fourth in the Sun Belt last season, and was picked to finish fourth again this season, receiving one first place vote.Â
Â
Last Time Out
Campbell swept Butler with three comeback wins, including a walkoff on Sunday to complete the sweep. Campbell trailed 4-0 after six innings on Friday, 5-1 after two innings on Saturday, and 9-2 in the middle of the seventh on Sunday. The Camels outscored Butler 27-1 from the seventh inning and later across the series.Â
Â
Dalen Thompson provided the walk-off single on Sunday, his second base knock of the year.Â
Â
Looking Ahead
The Camels stay in Louisiana with a trip to New Orleans for a pair of midweek matchups at Tulane on Tuesday and Wednesday. Each of those games will be streamed on ESPN+ as well.Â
