Wildcats Top Performers:
 

• Brady Sers played the part of hero in the opener, smacking an RBI single with the bases loaded into the right field grass to lift the Cats to a comeback walk-off winner then he capped the evening's scoring with a three-run blast in the bottom of the sixth in the nightcap for his first dinger as a Wildcat. The former Arkansas State Wonder Boy, Nunez Community College, and LSU Shreveport Pilot logged a trio of base knocks, four ribbies, crossed the plate twice, and totaled seven bases.

 

• Cy Fontenot seemed to be in mid-season form already, whiffing a half-dozen Devils in four frames, giving up three hits, a run plus a walk in a no decision.

 

• Andrew Yuratich opened game two and came away victorious courtesy of four innings of one-run ball while Beau Ross claimed the dub after hurling a scoreless seventh in the walk-off.

 

• Good things seemingly came in threes in the 6-5 triumph as the trio of Logan Bertucci, Hunter Gotreaux, and Braxton Cooksey all legged out triples with the first two student-athletes producing runs on their knocks.

 

• Harrison Waxley built off his superb Saturday by batting .667 with four hits, three RBIs, three runs, and even showed some selflessness by laying down a sacrifice.

 

• Nicholas Brunet reached safely five times (3 hits, 2 walks) while crossing the dish thrice and Caleb Duhon did so a quartet of times as well (3 walks, 1 hit).
   

Notes:
 

• The Wildcats have now opened the year with the fledgling program (started in 2023) out of the Big Easy the previous two campaigns, outscoring the Bleu Devils 70-17 in those matchups.
