After two 30-minute halves the hometown Derby Girls lost to the Mississippi Roller Girls 153 – 118. For Derby Girl Madie Sans Merci it was both a thrilling and nerve-wracking first-time derby experience.

One reason: strong pitching. LSU ended the 2009 season with the ninth-ranked team ERA (4.01) in Division I College Baseball. With the departure of the team’s No. 1 pitcher, Louis Coleman, junior Anthony Ranaudo has to step up this upcoming season as the squad’s ace.

Ranaudo moved from reliever to starter at the start of the 2009 season and flourished in his new role. Ranaudo finished last season with a team-high 159 strikeouts. He also finished with a 12-3 record and a 3.04 ERA.

Magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic fields to produce images of any part of the body. “Private donations have allowed us to make vast improvements to our facility, and they assisted with our acquisition of the MRI,” said Ky Mortensen, director of advancement for the equine health studies program at the school.
