Crescent City Sports to live stream 2 regional-round state playoff baseball games this week

NEW ORLEANS – A pair of regional-round Louisiana high school baseball playoff games in southeast Louisiana will be live streamed this week on Crescent City Sports.

CCS’ coverage begins Wednesday just prior to the 4:30 p.m. first pitch of the second game of the Division III select series between top-seeded St. Charles Catholic and No. 16 seed Houma Christian from LaPlace, then continues Friday with the 6 p.m. opening game of the Division II select series between No. 9 seed Lafayette Christian and eighth-seeded Archbishop Shaw from Marrero. CCS’ Ken Trahan will describe the action for both games.

The St. Charles Catholic-Houma Christian series begins on Tuesday. The Comets (26-6-1) won their final nine regular-season games to earn the No. 1 seed in the bracket and a first-round bye, while the Warriors (16-16) swept their first-round series against Haynes Academy to advance.

Both Lafayette Christian and Archbishop Shaw had opening-round byes in the Division II select bracket. Shaw (14-18) faced a grueling non-district schedule, which helped prepare the Eagles to win the District 10-4A title. The Knights (14-15) were tested in district play by the likes of St. Thomas More and Teurlings Catholic, two of the top four seeds in the bracket.

The winners of this week’s series advance to the quarterfinal round next week at campus sites. The quarterfinal winners advance to the state tournament May 9-13 at Sulphur.

The Crescent City Sports team is in its 12th season of producing live broadcasts for television and internet, having produced more than 400 live streams since 2012, and is continuing its extensive commitment to prep sports coverage on its website for 2022-23.
