EMTL championship
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — For most players on the LSU Eunice baseball team, the scenery this week looks nothing like home. Instead of the flat, sprawling rice fields and crawfish ponds of Acadiana, they’re surrounded by dramatic rock formations and the thin mountain air of western Colorado. As the Bengals prepare for their NJCAA Division I JUCO World Series appearance at Sam Suplizio Field Sunday, two sophomores — Aidan Mouton and Jordan Luna — are soaking in every moment of an experience they never imagined

The St. Edmund Blue Jays did not go quietly. Facing a five-run deficit against Covenant Christian Academy in the Division IV Select quarterfinals last Friday night, the Blue Jays kept fighting, putting pressure on the Lions with hit after hit and refusing to let their season end without a response. But despite collecting 10 hits and mounting a late push, St. Edmund could not fully recover from a difficult middle inning and four defensive errors in a 5-3 season-ending loss in Houma.
