Jennie finch world series

Summer means one thing in Southwest Louisiana- softball and baseball. Here, diamonds aren’t just a girl's best friend, they’re everybody's. SWLA visitors and locals hold their diamond sports close to their hearts, and we’re becoming an epicenter of the baseball and softball world.

The Lake Charles Gumbeaux Gators are back in action this summer as they kick off their second season as Lake Charles’ hometown team. Don't miss the home opener on June 3! This game has free admission, sponsored by Navarre Auto Group, and the best part- you and your krewe can hold live baby alligators! The first pitch will be thrown at 7 PM at Joe Miller Ballpark. To check out the themed game nights, the promotional schedule, and to get tickets, visit www.gumbeauxgators.com

The Gumbeaux Gators are a part of the Texas Collegiate League, with 5 other teams playing across Texas and Louisiana.
