The Natchitoches Central Chiefs, Lakeview Gators and St. Mary’s Tigers earned LHSAA baseball playoff bids released Tuesday, with the Chiefs traveling south this weekend, the Gators with a short road trip, while the Tigers don’t begin their postseason until the end of the month.
NCHS (21-13) will play a best-of-three Non-Select Division I series beginning Thursday at 12th seeded Northshore (25-9). The Chiefs are seeded 21st. They play Thursday and Friday at 6:30, and if necessary, Saturday at noon.
St. Mary’s (15-9) earned the No. 9 seed in the Select Division IV bracket, where competition is single-elimination. The high seed earned them a first-round bye, as it did their regional round opponent, Vermilion Catholic, No. 8 in the bracket, 15-10 overall. That game will be sometime between April 29 and May 2.
Lakeview (16-15) is the No. 21 seed in Non-Select Division IV and will visit No. 12 Logansport next Thursday, April 23 in a first-round game.
