The No. 17 LSU softball team started its season in the sunny weather of the Paradise Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii, but since then, the weather has been everything but sunny for the Tigers.The severe weather that passed through Baton Rouge on Wednesday night and Thursday morning left half of the outfield fence in Tiger Park on the ground. But that was the least of the Tigers’ concerns because the weather also forced the team to cancel its doubleheader against Mississippi Valley State scheduled for Thursday night in the stadium.LSU (21-7, 8-3) has now had 11 games canceled or rained out this season. “It’s just been an incredible year,” said LSU coach Yvette Girouard. “We’ve seen a hurricane, snow and a tornado all in year. I’m pretty sure that’s what it is because I don’t think that was just wind that did all the damage to softball, football and Alex Box.”The series against Mississippi Valley State was added to the schedule March 16 to make up for the games previously canceled during the season. “It’s frustrating because we tried to make up some of these games, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen,” Girouard said. “You always worry about the total number of wins, your RPI and everything else [for your postseason résumé], but we’re in the best conference in the country.”Girouard said the Tigers have no plans of scheduling any more make-up games.”The problem is people’s schedules are full,” Girouard said. “We have maybe one more date where we can try to pick up something, but that’s it.” The Tigers practiced in the batting cages Thursday after the announcement about the cancellation was made.”We practiced in the cage, and we’re just going to take the weekend off because we were scheduled to be off anyway,” Girouard said. Girouard said the cancellations have not affected the team’s performance this season.”Bottom line is we’re winning,” Girouard said. “When you’re in a groove, you want to keep playing, but there is nothing we can do about this now.” —-Contact Jarred LeBlanc at [email protected]
