The 2004 season ended at the Tucson Regional (under the old format with 8 teams participating); the Cajuns who were coming off of the 2003 WCWS were seeded fifth in the 8 team regional which included 3 teams from the 2003 WCWS: the #1 overall NATIONAL SEED, Arizona- who the Cajuns defeated in the Championship Winner’s bracket and also Oklahoma, who the Cajuns beat in the last two standing—game 1.
