LAFAYETTE — About the only discernible difference between dueling aces Gunner Leger and Lucas Humpal was the fourth inning Friday night at M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field.
Louisiana-Lafayette’s Leger struck out the Texas State side with a flurry of untouchable changeups, while Texas State’s Humpal gave up a decisive three-run double to freshman designated hitter Dylon Poncho, paving the way for the Cajuns to take the series opener 5-1.
“Right there, a true freshman went up against a very, very good arm and stuck a ball in the gap for us,” Cajuns coach Tony Robichaux said.
