LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Both Merryville and Rosepine punched their ticket to the big dance in Sulphur next week following quarterfinal wins Thursday. The Lady Panthers took down Oberlin in five innings, 12-2, while the Lady Eagles defeated D’Arbonne Woods Charter 5-2 in seven innings.
For Merryville, it’s the school’s first trip to the state tournament in 15 years. Senior pitcher Riley Dyson started things off with a bomb over the left-field wall to give them an early lead and scored the winning run in the bottom of the fifth.
