Second seeded, Weston High School, beat #7 Lacassine 9-1 on Tuesday to advance to the LHSAA Division V state tournament that will be held at McMurry Park in Sulphur, LA.
The victory earns the Wolves, now 21-13 on the year, a second straight trip to the semi-finals where they will face the winner of #3 Hicks and #6 Elizabeth at 2:00 pm on May 7th. The contest is scheduled to be played on Field 37.
An error on a ground ball hit by Cole Tolar, followed by a double off the bat of Bryce Zehr and a single by Colton Blundell gave the Wolves a 2-0 lead after one inning of play.
It would be all they would need.
That is because Tait Henderson pitched the best game of his career in the playoffs.
The crafty senior limited District 6B champion Lacassine, which ends the year with a 17-11 record, to just one hit and one earned run while striking out a season best 11 batters.
The vaunted Wolves offense garnered 11 hits and coaxed 8 walks on the day and added a run in the third inning, two more in the fourth and four in the bottom of the sixth to win going away.
As has been the norm all season, there were several that contributed led by Drew Browning, who racked up three hits including a pair of doubles, drove in two and scored two. Blundell also had three hits, two RBI and scored a run, while Zehr added a pair of hits, scored three and drove in a run.
Also playing a big role was Braden Theriot who had a hit, walked three times, scored a run and knocked one in and Cooper Delaney who had a hit and two RBI. Landry Garrett scored two runs, Jacob Gill walked twice and had an RBI and Cole Tolar got a hit.
