Baton Rouge, La
The Baton Rouge Bears had to make some changes to their weekend plans as the weather conditions in Texas forced them to change their weekend opponent. Bossier Parish Cavs were in the same boat, as they Bears, with the weather conditions forcing them to drop out of the Galveston tournament, thus a three game series was created between the two in state schools. Bossier Parish would win the first two games of this three-game series. Bossier wins game one 4-2, in ten innings and take game two 15-2 in six inning mercy rules.

Bossier would get on the board, in the third inning, with two runs via a double by A. Makarus. The Bears would tie the ball game, in the fourth inning, via a homerun by Trey Webb to left field. After four innings, the game was tied at 2 apiece. The game would be tied for the next three innings leading to extra innings.

Cabrera. C. Ketzner would hit a double to centerfield driving in two runs to take a 4 to 2 lead.
