When both teams take their batting practice before the game inside, that’s a pretty good indication that there might be better things to do outside than play baseball. When you look at the team from Thibodaux, Louisiana all shivering in their sweatshirts (they didn’t have coats!), you know they would rather be back home!
Despite the cold windy day, and the shivers, the boys from Louisiana struck first, taking advantage of freshman starter Ty Horn’s struggle finding the strike zone in the second inning. Horn walked the first two batters, and after a sacrifice bunt by Drake Anderson, Garrett Felix hit a deep fly ball to rightfield to score the first run of the game.
