Press Release

EUNICE, La. – For the fourth time in school history, LSU Eunice is set to host the Region 23 Tournament from Bengal Stadium beginning on Wednesday.  LSUE will open the six-team double elimination tournament against the reigning Region Champions, Hinds.  First pitch from Bengal Stadium is scheduled to begin at 6:00PM.

LSU Eunice (50-5) recently wrapped up one of the most successful regular seasons in school history.  The Bengals tied program records with 50 regular season wins as well as a 25-game win streak.

The Bengals are led at the plate by the sophomore duo of Mason Templet and Brent Hebert.  Templet, a St. Thomas More HS product, heads the LSUE attack with a .385 average while Hebert, a Rayne, Louisiana native, paces the team with 64 hits and 57 runs.  LSU Eunice is hitting .331 as a team while averaging 9.8 runs per game.

The pitching staff is headed up by right-handers Zach Hester and Andrew Sheridan.  The pair have combined to go 22-1 on the season with Hester sporting a 2.84 earned run average while Sheridan is at 2.16.

The Bengals are joined by five Mississippi powers in the Region 23 Tournament week.  LSUE will serve as the one-seed while Pearl River, Meridian, Itawamba, Mississippi Gulf Coast and Hinds make up the field.
