LOUISIANA La. – The Red team stayed alive to play on Sunday. In game one of the doubleheader, the Red team took a 3-1 lead in the second inning and never looked back en route to a 6-1 victory.
In the bottom of the first inning, White struck first to take a 1-0 lead. Devon Bourque led off with a double to left field. Justin Merendino and Micah Cockrell both struck out swinging.

Jameson Parker then hit an RBI single to left field to score Meche, giving Red a 3-1 lead.
With one out and a 2-2 count on Matt Casbon in the bottom of the fourth, play was suspended after a swarm of bees began pestering Red outfielders Trey Meche, Josh Landry and Cody Martin.
