LSU Shreveport Pilots-NAIA World Series May 25-June 1

Very nice, Dad. Congratulations, it sounds like his career, will keep going after college.

Congrats to Matt.... that's an incredible accomplishment for this season, winning 51 games. Also, amazing to carry your national rankings all season, no doubt Matt (11-0) was a huge part of it.

I think your guys will be celebrating a National Championship at the end of the month. Wish we were there too, but not our year.

Good Luck PILOTS! GED10DaD

I feel feel your pain! I was hoping for a Texas team to represent thus great state! I appreciate your support and wish LCU the best if luck in the future. Thank you!

Good luck to Matt in the WS and after. My son said he spoke with Matt couple weeks back and caught up on what each other have been doing. I haven't seen Matt since 2009 when I snapped a pic of him and the Clinard boys for Sheri.

My son plays for Northwood and while we didn't fair as well, I wish y'all all the luck.I did see your son pitch and he did a awesome job. Congrats and good luck.

Thank you...I appreciate you saying that...we fly out Friday morning for the Series...getting nervous already! Best of luck to your son at Northwood.

A huge pressence today for LSU Shreveport Pilot pitcher Matt Lackie, who finished with a no-decision. Lackie had good stuff while tossing seven innings, allowing three runs, one walk and striking out four against Lewis-Clark State to remain in the hunt for a National Championship.

The Pilots win 7-3, with a walk-off grand slam. Staying alive to fight another day.

Former Frisco Centennial player Devin Greco hit the walkoff GS yesterday...we put Oklahoma City out today with a 5-4 come from behind win...we play Tennessee Weslyan tomorrow night @ 8:30 Texas time. Final 4 teams are Tennessee Weslyan, Lee (TN), Rogers St. (OK) and LSU Shreveport. TW only team without a loss...its been a great series, we're hoping we can pull it out...thanks.

That's a huge win, they are a very talented and well coached team.

GUN and C/OF Dane Phillips are friends, that kid is getting a call on Monday.

Good luck the rest of the way! GED10DaD

What happened last nite? Can't find it online.

Rogers St. (OK) beat Lee (TN) last night to knock them out. We beat TN Weslyan 7-3. Because RS hasn't had a bye yet, they get a bye straight to the championship game tomorrow night. Since Weslyan has only one loss, we turn around and play them again tonight. Weslyan had won 17 or 18 in a row before we beat them last night. Gonna be a challenge to beat that good a team twice in a row, but we can do it if anyone can. Not sure yet if they'll throw Matt on 2 days rest, but he's ready if called upon. Jared Mortenson threw an amazing ga me last night. He actually had a 3 hit shutout going to the 9th, but TW scored 3 in the bottom of the 9th. TW was averaging 13 runs a game in the series before last night. It's been a great ride so far winning 3 in a row after losing the first game. A win tonight would make us 55-5 on the season. We want 56 wins now. Thanks.

You can follow along at NAIA.org and listen at teamline.cc type LSU shreveport in the box...game time 8:30 Texas time tonight.

Lefty Cam Ellis will get the start tonight...Matt threw Monday and they won't start him on 2 days rest...he will start the National Championship tomorrow night vs. Rogers St.

Sorry bout the loss,but that was amazing season.Y'all never quit last nite.Be proud of an amazing year.Good luck to your son. He has alot to be proud of.

Thank you, sir. Waiting to see what next week brings us. Hopefully he will get to continue his baseball career. We will just wait and see. God is good. Thanks again.

Just wanted to update...Matt will be playing for the Amarillo Sox in the American Association starting next week. He is thrilled to be able to continue playing the game he's loved since he was 3-4 years old.

I might also add that he played for DBat
