Sting finishes runner-up in Louisiana State Championships

Lake Charles, LA - StingBBC entered the State Championship number one in power ranking and 2nd seed overall. The team suffered it's first shut-out of the year to hands of the Slidell Vipers 5-zip in the first game of pool play. In the second game of pool action the Sting swarmed Bengal Baseball by a run rule route of 12-4 in five innings. Heading into the elimination round StingBBC was seeded 7th overall.

After tearing through the three elimination games: 8-0 run rule of the Capitol City Cubs which saw a complete game thrown by Austin Jordan, a 1-0 nail biter win over the Vermillion Vipers which featured a gun-slinging duel and complete game performance by Tyler McCain, and another run rule performance of the Rayne Heat (11-3) which included a single homer by Tyler McCain.

Game 4!!! Not meant to be... With the Thibodaux Thunderbolts jumping out to a quick 2-0 lead the Sting never was able to muster their bats for a rally. Having bases loaded and no outs in both the 5th and 6th inning and with the heart of the line-up at the plate was not enough to tip the win to their favor. A true "heart breaker" to say the least.

"One and done!" at Dallas Super NIT

With a fast start in pool play StingBBC made quick work of the Texas Star's by run rule score of 15-3 in near gale force winds. Sting BBC fell to the Texas Sliders 11-9 in the second pool game and came up short once again in the single-elimination round to the Sliders 9-4. Sting Baseball finished in 5th place overall for the tournament.
