Most recently, Concordia Lutheran flexed its prolific talent by winning the Lufkin Tournament this past weekend, claiming the Final with a 10-2 victory over Hallsville.

The Crusaders’ bats were on fire during the tournament Final, particularly those of junior RHP/1B Eoghan Collins (2-3; 4 RBI), senior RHP/3B Alex Petrovic (3-3; 3 RBI), senior OF Zachary Daigre (1-2; RBI) and junior C Nolan Traeger (2 BB, RBI).

Furthermore, one of the biggest surprises of Concordia’s season is the breakout performance of sophomore MIF Cole Lanclos (3B, RBI in Lufkin Tourney Final), whose consistency (.500 BA, 11 Hits, 7 RBI, 3 SB, 1 3B) has propelled the 'Saders to their perfect start.

The Crusaders are 11-0 and it would seem that the best is yet to come with district play just around the corner.
