When Luke Morgan signed to continue his baseball career at Louisiana Christian University in Pineville, he did so because he wanted to be a part of program history. 

Mission Accomplished! 

Not only is the former Quitman High School, two time, all state baseball player a member of the LCU team, his contribution was invaluable to helping the Wildcats secure their first ever  Red River Athletic Conference Championship.

After finishing the regular season in 5th place with a 17-13 conference record and a 32-19 mark overall, the Wildcats slipped past LSU-Alexandria 13-12 in the first round. That set up a matchup with LSU-Shreveport, ranked 4th nationally and RRAC regular season champion in the second round.

It looked like LCU had pulled the ultimate stunner when they downed LSU-S 5-2. It marked the first time in 15 years that LCU had beaten their northwest Louisiana rivals. When they beat them again 7-6, after dropping the winners bracket final game to Texas A&M Texarkana by a 8-7 score, it was proven to be no fluke. LCU then downed TA&M-Texarkana by 6-4 and 9-7 scores to culminate the historic week and earn their first trip ever to regional playoff competition.  

Morgan played a big role too. The redshirt freshman was used sparingly early in the year, mostly as a pinch runner, but through continued hard work finally moved into the starting lineup with just a couple of games left in the regular season.

Playing left field, the son of John and Tracy Morgan of Quitman was instrumental in LCU’s tournament success, collecting an RBI in the opener and going 2/3 with a run scored in the first victory against LSU-S. In the finals of the winners bracket, Morgan smashed a double and drove in a run.  

In the two game final’s set, Morgan scored a run in each game, and stole two bases in the championship clincher while also getting a hit and reaching base via a walk. For the year, Morgan has compiled a sparkling .385 batting average.
