LAFAYETTE-For the second week in a row, Donna Bourgeois and Christi Orgeron
have earned Sun Belt Conference Pitcher and Player of the Week honors for
their efforts on the week. Joining the duo this week was FIU’s Kasey Barrett
who shared Pitcher of the Week accolades with Bourgeois.
The awards marked the second time in as many weeks the duo earned the award
and the fourth time this season that Bourgeois garnered the praise.
Bourgeois helped the Cajuns to a perfect 4-0 record on the week, making three
appearances, en route to a 3-0 record. The sophomore won all three games she
pitched against North Texas. She scattered six hits over 14.0 innings
surrendering just a pair of earned runs for a 1.00 ERA. Bourgeois struck out
17 batters on the weekend and held opponents to a .130 batting average in
three games. She made two starts with one complete game and a combined
shutout to her credit. The Lafayette native had at least five strikeouts in
each appearance.
Orgeron hit .615 on the week, going 8-for-13 with four extra base hits. The
redshirt freshman hit three home runs on the week to go along with a double.
She scored six runs in four games, while driving in seven more runs. The New
Orleans native had a 1.385 slugging percentage and a .667 on-base
percentage. Orgeron hit safely in every game this week, scoring and driving
in at least one run in each game. She had multiple hits in three games of
the four games on the week; multiple RBI in three games; and multiple runs
scored in two games. Orgeron also drew a pair of walks on the week.
Due to travel conflicts with the University of Houston, Louisiana’s Ragin’
Cajuns softball team will now play a single game only against UH on Tuesday,
April 28 at Lamson Park.
Game time is scheduled for 6 p.m.
The two teams were originally scheduled to play a doubleheader.
Louisiana will honor its 2009 senior class – Amanda Hill, Karli Hubbard and
Codi Runyan – during a pre-game ceremony.
Tuesday’s contest marks the final home game of the regular season for the
Ragin’ Cajuns (35-10, 16-5 Sun Belt). Last weekend the Cajuns claimed the Sun
Belt Conference regular season championship, the eighth title for the program
in the nine-year history of the league.
