The Bossier City All-Stars opened their Diamond Youth Baseball 11U state tournament with a decisive 13-4 victory over Monroe, but their momentum stalled when they were shut out 3-0 by Gonzalez later in the week.
Meanwhile, the Haughton All-Stars powered through the 8U Coach Pitch North Regional, dropping Minden 3-1 and West Carroll 17-2 before encountering a tough Concordia squad that ended their run.
Regional Highlights
In the 8U South Regional, the Benton All-Stars collected two hard‑fought wins, edging Oakdale 11-6 and edging Caldwell 11-10, positioning themselves for a showdown with unbeaten Miley. A rain‑delayed contest against Rayville saw Benton leading 12-4 when play was halted, underscoring the unpredictable nature of the series.
Regardless of the outcome against Miley, Benton is guaranteed a spot in the championship bracket, adding extra stakes to the upcoming match.
