The Pelicans fought hard last night but came up short and lost to the Lakers 110 to 106. New Orleans will need to beat Sacramento on Friday to keep its season alive. The Pels trailed by 18 points in the third quarter, but Zion Williamson led a big-time comeback, scoring 40 points. But after scoring his 40th point with 3 minutes and 19- seconds left to play, he left the game with an injury and the Lakers outscored New Orleans 15 to 11 the rest of the way. Coach Willie Greene said after the game Williamson had left leg soreness.

The 14th-ranked Cajuns baseball team scored 12 runs in the first three innings and beat Southeastern Louisiana 15 to 7. Trey LaFleur homered and drove in five runs. Same two teams tonight, but in Hammond.

The Tigers doubled up UNO six to three. Jared Jones, Hayden Travinski, and Brady Neal all homered.
