Mamou dropped down to 7-9 on Friday, ending the team's three-game streak of wins. They came up short against the Lafayette Lions, falling 12-6. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Lions this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 13-7 on March 5th.

As for Lafayette, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games.

For Lafayette's part, the team relied heavily on Ella Larpenteur, who fired off two home runs, three runs, and four RBI while going 3-for-4. That's the most RBI Larpenteur has posted since back in February. Kaylee Morgan was another key player, going 1-for-3 with three runs and one stolen base.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Mamou will square off against Notre Dame at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. The Pioneers' pitching crew has only allowed 2.4 runs per game this season, so the Demons' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Lafayette, they will challenge Lake Charles College Prep at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The Trailblazers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 19.81 runs per game on average), something the Lions will no doubt try to take advantage of.
