Friday night LSU plays host to the ULM Warhawks as LSU presents the 20th NCAA Baseball Regional at Alex Box stadium in Baton Rouge. Game time is 7p as the No. 7 nationally seeded LSU faces Louisiana-Monroe (31-28). Listen to the game on KWKH 1130 AM.

Garner High’s baseball team was eliminated from competition in the North Carolina state playoffs last night (May 11.) That means its most famous team member Scotty McCreery saw his high school baseball career end, as he is a graduating senior. Something tells us that he has a bright future ahead of him outside of baseball, being a Platinum-selling recording artist and all.

There have only been 15 unassisted triple plays in Major League history. This makes the instant inning killer the rarest play in all of baseball. Although they don’t keep track of such things, it stands to reason there have been more unassisted triple plays than that on the Little League level — just given the sheer number of games played.

Festivals, Food, Family, Fun. . . IT'S THE WEEKEND Y'ALL!! Head to Blanchard for the Poke Salad Festival or maybe you wanna check out State Baseball Tournament action or maybe take the family to Sci Port where you get in FREE Sunday afternoon for Mother's Day---tons of fun happening this weekend in Kiss Country!

More rain in the Kiss Country forecast today with a 60% chance of thunderstorms. That means there's a pretty good chance your evening plans at the ballpark may change. We've collected the Rain Out numbers for area ball fields and put them all right here for you.

We are wishing good luck to all our Kiss Country baseball teams trying to win State this weekend! Quarterfinals are Friday with semifinals and the State Championship games happening across the State Friday and Saturday. Here are the details.

A sellout crowd is expected tonight at Captain Shreve High School as they take on the Byrd Yellow Jackets for their 5A baseball playoff game. Shreve snagged a win against Byrd two weeks ago, and if they can repeat they will advance toward Friday's quarter finals.

Sean Leonard and fiance Shannon Smith Moore, the couple who stole a foul ball from a little boy and made him cry during a game between the Yankees and the Rangers on Wednesday night, recently spoke to ABC and said they were completely oblivious to the drama playing out right beside them. Do you believe them?

Say what?! $26 for a hot dog while you enjoy your Texas Rangers baseball this year? Yep, come opening day at Rangers stadium there will be a big ole hot dog on the menu for nearly 30 bucks.

He admittedly is a little out of shape, but Scotty McCreery made the cut to earn a spot on Garner High School’s Varsity baseball team. The 18-year-old hasn’t pitched since 2010, and even the coach at his hometown school isn’t sure what to expect from the senior.

The brand new Benton Dixie is holding registrations for players this Saturday, February 11 and again next Saturday, February 18.

Regardless the outcome of tonight's Game 7 of the World Series between the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals, this series has already been one of the greatest matches of all time.  Nelson Cruz and his record tying 8 post season home runs, Albert Pujols and his record tying 3 homers in a single game and the Cardinals miraculous come back last night from 2 run deficits in 2 different innings.  B
