August 8, 2011 For the Lafayette Little League squad the trip to Waco, Texas has been hot in a couple of different ways. The temperatures in Central Texas have been unmercifully hot, fortunately the boys from the bayou know all about playing in the heat. The other heat has been generated by some very timely hitting and more than a few long balls from the Cajun crew.
August 6, 2011 Saturday Night in the Southwest Little League baseball regionals in Waco Texas the Louisiana State Champions from Lafayette took care of business. This time the bayou boys did not let an early lead slip away as they had done the night before. Lafayette took a 6-0 lead into the third inning before the team from Whitehall Arkansas got on the board with 3. Memories of a wild game the night before and some timely hitting put a stop to the Arkansas threat as Lafayette dug in and posted 5 in their half of the inning. The game ended in the 5th when Lafayette posted a walk off two run homer to close out the game 13-3.
