STANLEY – The Lacassine Cardinals made school history on Tuesday after reviving their baseball program a mere four seasons ago by knocking off No. 15 Stanley 2-1 for the program’s first ever playoff win. The No. 18-seeded Cardinals trailed most of the entire contest 1-0, but rallied late for a run in the sixth and the deciding score in the top of the seventh to capture their monumental victory. With the win, Lacassine improved their overall mark to 10-11 and will travel to face No. 2 Anacoco on Monday in a Regional Round playoff contest. The winner of that game will then take on the winner of No. 7 Converse and No. 10 Weston for the right to advance to Sulphur for the Class B State Baseball Tournament.
