The Little Warriors 4th Grade baseball team turned in a dominant performance Thursday at the Ruston Sports Complex, defeating Cedar Creek 10–1.

The Warriors wasted no time getting on the board. In the top of the first inning, Tyson K. sparked the offense with a line-drive single down the left field line. Dayton H. added an RBI on a groundout, and a Cedar Creek error brought in another run, giving the Warriors an early 3–0 lead.

The momentum continued in the third inning when the Warriors plated two more runs. Dayton was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, extending the lead to 5–0.

On the mound, Ridge R. delivered an impressive start for the Warriors, retiring hitters with ease. He threw two no-hit innings, striking out five and issuing no walks. Dylan P. took over in relief and kept Cedar Creek scoreless as well, striking out four over 1.2 innings and allowing no hits.

Offensively, Tyson led the Warriors with two hits in three at-bats. Wyatt C., Dayton, Beau I., and Tyson each recorded an RBI, while Ridge showed patience at the plate with a team-high two walks. In total, the Warriors drew seven walks in the game, showcasing strong discipline in the batter’s box.

The convincing win adds another strong performance to the Little Warriors’ season as they continue to build momentum.
