9:00 AM – The Pelicans come at Rougarou with a vengeance after two earlier losses, and put up runs in nearly every inning of play while mostly shutting down the Rougarou. Despite the Pels momentum, Rougarou do manage to put one over the left-field fence, and it may have killed a nutria—Swamp Rat on Swamp Rat crime. Pelicans (12) – Rougarou (5)
4:00 PM- The Blues continue their comeback kid story against the beleaguered Weebies, and proceed to hang around the field and get wasted while poaching beers off of everyone in sight. What’s not to love? Fifth Ward Weebies (1) – Blues (6)
7:00 PM – An exciting game with some really fantastic pitching between S9 and Par, but errors and expert Parleaux baserunning cost S9 the game. Parleaux (7) – Secret 9 (3)
