Softball Turns 30
Lamson Park

Five Women's College World Series appearances. Nineteen NCAA regional visits. Thirty-seven All-American players. Those points of pride are part of the 30-year history of Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns softball that’s being celebrated this season. Here’s another reason to cheer: Lamson Park’s seating capacity will soon double and covered, chair-back seating will be installed between dugouts. The Cajuns will face the McNeese Cowgirls March 9 for a doubleheader that starts at 4 p.m. at Lamson Park. Geaux Cajuns!
