The sparse crowd pounded the bleachers. Some whistled. Others cheered. They created as much noise as possible, chanting “Ra-gin’ Ca-juns” as they hoped UL could make a comeback in the eighth inning. In the middle of it all, senior closer Devin Fontenot tried to protect LSU’s lead Wednesday night. He entered for sophomore left-hander Alex Brady with no outs, the bases loaded and a four-run lead inside Russo Park.
