Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs News Release
BOSSIER CITY, LA - Tomorrow at CenturyTel Center, the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs return from a three-game road trip to play their only Sunday afternoon home game of the season. At 4:05 pm, the Mudbugs will face the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees for the final time this season, presented by Global Express.
Following tonight's important contest in Mississippi against the RiverKings, the 'Bugs will have just four regular season games remaining when they come home Sunday to take on Rio Grande Valley. Valuable points will be on the line for both teams in this game as they close out a set of three games in three days and finish their four-game regular season series. Going into Saturday night's games, both the Mudbugs and Killer Bees are ranked fourth in their respective conferences but still have the chance to climb into the third seed and out of the best-of-three play-in round between the fourth and fifth seeds in each conference.
Bossier-Shreveport won the year's first meeting with the Killer Bees by a 4-3 tally at the CTC back in late November, but has since had some trouble with them. The 'Bugs suffered one of their worst losses of the season against Rio Grande Valley on January 10, falling 7-1 at the Dodge Arena. The Bees then came back to Bossier City on January 24 and handed the Mudbugs a 4-1 defeat to take a 2-1 lead in the season series.
