Lutcher had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Minden Crimson Tide a 10-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Bulldogs have won 13 contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

The victory was the fifth in a row for Lutcher, bringing their record up to 25-10. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for Minden, they moved to 18-17 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.

Coming up, Lutcher will challenge Rayne on Tuesday. Minden will be paying especially close attention to the Bulldogs' match: after the Bulldogs face off against Haynes Academy, they'll take on Minden again on Tuesday.
