Members of the Northwestern State Demon baseball team met some youthful competition last weekend when it faced off against the Natchitoches Lightning – an 8-year old squad - in a six inning contest.
Demon head coachoach J.P. Davis and his squad had its hands full with the fiery boys from Natchitoches.
The match up saw the Lightning take an early 2-0 lead in_the top of the first with the Demons being held scoreless in the bottom half_of the frame.
The teams traded runs in the second and third innings before holding each other scoreless until the last inning.
In the top of the sixth the Lightning plated two runs leaving the Demons looking at a 6-2 deficit going into their last at-bat.
The Demons came on strong with hit after hit to close to within one run when an unfortunate attempt at an inside the park homerun was halted as the last out was made at home plate.
The Natchitoches Lightning's 6-5 victory over the Demons left the guys in purple vowing to get revenge upon their next meeting.
The Natchitoches Lightning players and coaching staff would like to thank the Demons for helping them close out its fall schedule.
