LSUS Pilots Baseball: Affordable Family Fun in Shreveport
A Local Gem with Big League Energy
If you’re looking for something fun to do around Shreveport that doesn’t involve standing in line or overpaying for popcorn, let me make a strong case for an LSUS Pilots baseball game. If you miss taking the family out to the Shreveport Captains games, this is just about as close as you're going to get. It’s laid-back, affordable, and honestly, it’s some of the best baseball you’ll find in the area.

And right now, the Pilots are on fire. In their most recent three-game series against Texas College, the Pilots outscored their opponent by a jaw-dropping 94 to 4. That is not a typo. Ninety-four runs in three games. The last one ended 42 to 4. If that doesn’t turn your head, I don’t know what will. These players are not just going through the motions. They’re sharp, focused, and exciting to watch. Whether it's a diving catch, a clutch hit, or lights-out pitching, the quality of play is as good as it gets around here.
A Relaxing Way to Spend the Evening
But beyond the scoreboard, the best part might just be the vibe. You don’t have to dress up. You don’t have to fight traffic. You’ll see families, students, and longtime fans all enjoying a night out. Bring a lawn chair or grab a seat in the stands. The concessions are simple, the lines are short, and the people are kind. And in today’s political climate, this is just what the doctor ordered. It feels like Shreveport in the best kind of way.
Still Great Fun Even if You’re Not a Baseball Fan
Even if you’re not a sports person, this is still a great night out. It’s something different. It’s local. And it supports student-athletes who are giving it their all. So if you’re looking for fun family activities in Shreveport, or just a new way to enjoy your weekend, an LSUS Pilots game might be exactly what you didn’t know you needed.
