In this edition of the Triple Play, Rodrick Anderson and Warren Arceneaux preview the remainder of the week in high school baseball and softball.

What is the best baseball game on the schedule?

WA: Acadiana at Barbe, today. The Rams beat the Bucs on Tuesday, knocking the Bucs out of sole possession of the District 3-5A lead. Now the Bucs are tied with Sam Houston for first place, with, Lafayette, Sulphur and Acadiana all a game behind.

RA: Kinder at St. Louis, Friday. Both teams have turned things around since struggling early in the season. Kinder has won six of its last eight after starting 5-5. The defending Division II state champion Saints have won 10 of their last 11.

What is the most interesting softball game?

RA: Barbe at Sam Houston, today. The District 3-5A title will be decided in Moss Bluff. Barbe, the defending 5A champ, has won 14 of its last 15 games, while Sam Houston is on a nine-game win streak and beat the Bucs 12-6 earlier in the season in a nondistrict game.
