In this edition of the Triple Play, staff writers Rodrick Anderson and Warren Arceneaux discuss Tuesday’s slate of baseball and softball games.

What is the best game on the schedule?

WA: Southside at Sulphur, softball. The first game between the two was a slugfest, with Southside winning 7-6 in a game that featured six home runs. The Tors have won nine of their last 11 games.

RA: Rosepine at Oakdale, softball. The Eagles are trying to stay in contention for a home playoff game in the first round and are rated No. 15 in non-select Division III. A win over Oakdale, the No. 6 team in non-select Division IV, would be a big boost and earn it a share of the District 4-2A title.

WA: In five games last week St. Louis Catholic first baseman Kennedy Leggett had 11 hits, scored 10 runs, drove in nine runs and had two doubles, a triple and a home run. The Saints host Pitkin today.

RA: Kinder sophomore second baseman Landon Rice extended his hitting streak to six games last week after going 3-for-5 in a pair of games with five RBIs and four stolen bases. Kinder hosts St. Edmund today as the Yellow Jackets go for their 20th win.

WA: In two games last week Sam Houston’s Aubrey Hobbs went 4-for-6 with four home runs, five runs scored and six RBIs. The Broncos play today at Acadiana.
