Two Former Lady Wildcats are Now National Champs

    Katie Flowers and Brittany Johnson, who now play for the LSU-Eunice Lady Bengals, won the World Series for the NJCAA on Saturday, May 16th. They were ranked number one for three months with a record of 58-2 going into Nationals. 
    At Nationals, they beat teams from Arizona, Delaware, Iowa, and Mississippi. LSU-Eunice lost to Mississippi (JC) Friday night, which was their only loss in a double elimination tournament, which then led them to Saturday to play two games to make it to the championship game. In the championship game against Jones County in Mississippi, the Lady Bengals were down 6-0 in the top of the 5th inning. LSU-E ended up scoring 8 runs in the bottom of the 6th inning and held Mississippi the rest of the game. The final score of the game was 8-6 and LSU-Eunice became National Champs. 
    Katie was one of the catchers and got to catch every other game all year. Brittany played left field and pinched ran for multiple batters. They finished with a 65-3 record. They had a wonderful experience as freshmen and hope to make it back next year!
