Weather hampers baseball, softball action

Wolves, Ladies split weekend tournament play

Mother Nature’s taking her toll on baseball and softball scheduled during the last couple of weeks, forcing Rayne High teams to reschedule and delay a number of games on the diamond.
Wolves
Over the weekend, the Wolves were able to dodge rain drops and participate in the Hanson Tournament where they posted a 1-1 record.
Although Rayne collected five hits, they were only able to light up the scoreboard with two runs with a 7-2 loss against Loreauville in opening play.
Loreauville hammered out seven hits and five runs for the win behind pitcher Scott Hebert.
TJ Bearb led Rayne hits with three (2 singles, 1 double), with additional hits by Ivy Thibodeaux and Grant Abshire.
Taking the loss on the mound for the Wolves was Hunter Keely who struck out five batters while allowing seven hits.
In their second outting, the Wolves claimed a 5-1 win over Patterson behind a strong showing by Rayne hurler Brice Meche. He allowed only three hits for Patterson’s only run.
Leading Rayne hitters for the win were Gannon Quebedeaux, each 2-for-3, followed by Hunter Keely, Grant Abshire and Haven Doucet each with a hit. Adding an RBI was Brice Meche.
The Wolves are slated to travel to Lake Charles this week where they will meet Washington-Marion, followed by a home contest Thursday (today) against LaGrange. The Wolves will then travel to the New Orleans area this weekend for the Dennis Estay Memorial Baseball Tournament hosted by John Curtis and Holy Cross.
