Celebrate the Pilots’ history making season

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — The City of Shreveport invites the public to wear purple and gold for a community-wide celebration of the LSU Shreveport Pilots’ baseball team’s history-making season.

“LSUS (58-0) broke the collegiate baseball record with its 58th-straight win Thursday night and will face Southeastern, Florida, tonight in the championship game,” stated the City of Shreveport.

According to the City of Shreveport, Friday’s NAIA World Series win would deliver the ‘first-ever national champions in LSUS’s history, but in the event of a loss, the Pilots would have a second chance Saturday in this double-elimination tournament.’

Monday’s event aims to celebrate the crowning of a national champion, highlighting the most remarkable college baseball season across all levels.

“This team has shown the heart, discipline, and relentless drive that define champions,” said Mayor Tom Arceneaux, “No matter the final outcome, the City of Shreveport is immensely proud of what they’ve accomplished, and we look forward to honoring them with the celebration they’ve earned.”

“It’s been a privilege to watch this team in their historic pursuit of perfection,” said LSUS Chancellor Dr. Robert Smith. “They’ve represented LSU Shreveport in the best possible way on a national stage, and we can’t wait to celebrate them back home in Shreveport.”

The public celebration will include appearances by players and coaches, remarks from university
and city leadership, music, food trucks, and plenty of Pilot pride. Community members are
encouraged to wear LSUS gear and come ready to cheer.
