Last weekend was a very special weekend at Russo Park in Lafayette. Not only did the University open it's gates to the newly renovated baseball stadium, they also surprised Head Coach Tony Robichaux with a ceremonial first pitch.

Prior to game two against Southern Miss. Coach Robichaux's father, Ray, threw out the first pitch. Now, what makes this so special is that Coach had no idea that this was going to happen.

For a father and son to share a moment like this is very special. Coach Robichaux has dedicated his life to the Ragin' Cajuns Baseball program and for him to share this moment with his father had to have been very special for the both of them.

We salute the University for pulling this off. It's a moment neither will ever forget.
