First game of the season was with Bastrop March 8th and Hornets lost 18-7 on the Bastrop field. Second game played in West Monroe was with West Monroe High School which the Hornets lost 8-4. Baseball Coach Frazier Bailey attributes the two losses to no practice on the baseball field because of bad weather. Tuesday night of this week, the Hornets began buzzing with seven hits and two Ouachita miscues to win their game, 9-4. Pitcher Ed Quimby of the Hornets held Ouachita to four safeties and went all the way to claim the win.

Ouachita talli- in the third and only inning they scored in. From then on, it was the Hornets swinging big bats all the way. Hodge O'Neal started the third with a single, followed by Don Senn's one baser and Larry McDonald's double. In the fourth Quimby stomped plate on O'Neal's double after reaching first on a walk. In the fifth, Billy Miller doubled, then stole third and scored on the third baseman's error to place the Hornets ahead.

Not satisfied, Doyle Hammons walked, Quimby singled and both made it home safely on Bobby Stuckeys douole. Charles Gammill singled next and Sharbono doubled to bring them in for the Hornets. Rayville's first score appeared in the second Inning as Hammons made home on catcher's error after walking, advancing on error fielder's choice that loaded the bases. McDonald scored twice while Quimby and Hammons scored twice for the Hornets. Stuckey and McDonald got credit for bringing in two runs across the plate.
