LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - The weather could not hold off long enough for Grand Lake and LaSalle to get their semifinal matchup in as a lightning delay started the delay and rain kept the matchup from ever resuming Tuesday night.
The Hornets hold a 2-0 lead in the third inning and the game will be resumed Friday at 1:00 p.m.
The game started off with LaSalle’s Beau Skinner striking out three batters in the first inning, although Grand Lake’s Eli Fountain was able to score off of a balk to make it, 1-0.

LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Grand Lake fell to Oak Grove in the Class 1A state title game, 33-7 on Monday.
Grand Lake’s meteoric rise to the Class 1A Championship game seemed fitting this year when we learned to expect the unexpected.
But that doesn’t mean the Hornets weren’t worthy. The Grand Lake defense had proven to be one of the best in the state and for most of this game that was evident.
Friday had to be among the wackiest days in local high school football history, with Lake Charles College Prep, Kinder and Grand Lake all winning road games â with the Blazers and Yellow Jackets adding to both the degree of difficulty and drama by winning in overtime and double overtime, respectively â while the area s lone home team, undefeated and top Class 3A seed Jennings, lost to Madison Prep.
No shame in that for the Bulldogs. Playoff seedings are always of dubious accuracy based on factors such as strength of schedule and opponents results that are partially, if at all, in the control of each team. This year they provided even less accuracy due to shorter schedules, games canceled due to Hurricanes Laura and Delta as well as teams choosing to sit the season out.
