Baseball: Cajuns wrap up summer baseball leaguesSpecial to The Advertiser, Aug. 3, 2016 With the summer winding down, several of the UL Ragin’ Cajuns baseball players are closing out their summer campaigns in preparation for the 2017 season. Senior Steven Sensley highlighted the action over the summer as he was named both the Alaska Baseball League Player of the Year and Silver Slugger. Sensley, who played with the Anchorage Bucs of the ABL was one of three Cajuns to be named to an all-star team this summer joining Gunner Leger, Logan Stoelke and Jack Burk. Sensley hit .305 in 39 games overall, led the ABL in home runs (6) and slugging percentage (.531), and tied for first in extra base hits (16). He was also second in the league in RBIs (27) and on-base-slugging percentage (.915), and stole seven bases. Leger finished the summer with a 0.42 ERA in seven appearances including three starts for the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod League. The Lake Charles native did not allow an earned run in his first 14 innings of work and allowed just one earned run in 21.0 innings with one walk and 29 strikeouts.
