The players on the Dawgs 16U summer travel ball team accomplished a goal this past spring when they made it to the state tournament while playing for Weston High School. This past week they realized a dream. 

With LSU taking part in the college World Series in Omaha, Nebraska the local group of teens played a pair of games at Alex Box Stadium on the LSU campus, dropping the first before smashing their way to a victory in the final contest. 

Perhaps it was getting used to the iconic environment but after managing just one hit while falling to NOCA American 12-0 in the first game, the Dawgs took a big bite out of NOCA Orr in game two by a 15-3 margin.

Leading the way was Colton Blundell (2 – 2B, 3B) and Hudson Pullig (2B, 3B) who each went 4/4 while scoring four runs and driving in five respectively. Tait Henderson got into the act as well with a two for three effort, 3 runs scored, 2 RBI and a stolen base while earning the win on the mound. Dawson Lacomb got a hit, knocked in two and scored two runs, while Cole Tolar chipped in with a hit and 2 RBI and Beaux Oliver scored twice. Drew Williams and Jacob Gill both scored a run and Sawyer Watkins got on base twice with a hit and a walk as everyone contributed to the victory.
