VILLE PLATTE — It looks like it is going to be another one of those years for the Sacred Heart baseball team.
After defeating Port Barre on Tuesday by one run, the Trojans traveled to Breaux Bridge for a make-up game from last week.
In another hard fought game, Sacred Heart fell to the Tigers 4-3, their fifth one run contest this season.
But, not letting the loss get them down, the Trojans followed that game up with a big 7-0 win over perennial Class B power Oak Hill here Thursday afternoon.
Here is a re-cap of those two games played.
