Pitkin Tigers secure 1st state championship since 2019

SULPHUR, La. (KALB) - We were guaranteed a local state champion in the Division 5 Non-Select title game between two Vernon Parish schools, Pitkin and Anacoco.

It was a fight, with the Tigers scoring the first four runs in the game. The Indians then scored four themselves.

Ultimately, Pitkin scored four more times to take the game 8-4.

It is their first championship since 2019.

In the biggest game of the season, Pitkin throws a pair of freshman pitchers on the mound to win a state championship.
