Houston visits Ragin' Cajuns for first weekend set since 2002
LAFAYETTE, La. – Houston Baseball opens a four-game road trip with three matchups against Louisiana beginning at 3 p.m. Friday from M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park in Lafayette, La.
Saturday's middle game gets underway at 2 p.m. and Sunday's finale starts at 1 o'clock. All three matchups can be seen on ESPN+ and heard on The Varsity Network.
Houston (9-4), winners in nine of its last 10, is making its first trip to "The Tigue" since March 8-10, 2002. The then-No. 10 Cougars, who reached the Super Regionals that season, swept that series as part of 10 straight wins. The Cougars lead the all-time series 39-14-1.
Louisiana (6-6) is coming off an extended break after its midweek matchups against Louisiana Tech and New Orleans were rained out. The Ragin' Cajuns have stolen 29 bases as a team to rank 15th nationally.
