After a decade of existence, the Lake Charles College Prep baseball program made history last week with its first postseason win.

The 17th-ranked Trailblazers swept No. 16 Tara in a best-of-three series on the road in the bi-district round of the Select Division II playoffs. They run-ruled the Trojans 19-2 in four innings on Friday and 17-2 in three innings on Saturday. LCCP (15-18) had made the playoffs four other times in its history with the last coming in 2022. It almost upset No. 7 Berwick in 2021 before losing 5-3.

The Trailblazers will travel to Lafayette this week to take on No. 1 Teurlings Catholic in a best-of-three regional playoff series starting on Thursday.

Senior shortstop Christian Burgos had a productive weekend, going 5-for-7 with six RBIs as the Trailblazers reached double-digit hits in both games. He had a pair of doubles on Friday and a two-run home run Saturday.

Sophomore Dylan Vital pitched a no-hitter in LCCP’s win Saturday with six strikeouts and three walks.

Road Warrior Tors

For a second consecutive season, the Sulphur Tors went on the road in the first round and went home winners.

The No. 20 Tors swept No. 13 Covington in a best-of-three Non-select Division I bi-district playoff series with a pair of dramatic wins.

Sulphur opened the series Friday with a 4-2, eight-inning win using small ball. Slade Shove-Knox put down a bunt and reached base on an error and moved into scoring position on Brodie Depriest’s sacrifice bunt. Carter Wilson scored the go-ahead the go-ahead run on a bunt by Braydon Stacy and Tajhai Smith’s single to right field brought home Shove-Knox.

Jackson Beddoe capped the Tors’ big weekend with the hit of the series Saturday. He hit a walk-off two run home run to beat the Lions 7-5 and send the Tors to the regional round.

The Tors’ bullpen played a big role in the sweep. Wilson pitched two scoreless relief innings to pick up the win on the mound Friday, and Grayson Seaford pitched four scoreless innings Saturday. Sulphur (18-18) will travel to No. 4 Haughton for a best-of-three series starting on Friday.

Near perfect

Jennings senior Jenna Morvant almost pitched a perfect game Thursday as she led No. 9 Jennings to a 9-0 win over No. 24 A.J. Ellender in the first round of the Non-select Division II softball playoffs.

Morvant pitched a no-hitter with nine strikeouts and missed a perfect game by one batter. She walked the third batter she faced but retired the next 18 in a row and closed the game with a strikeout.
