Laredo is 3-1 in their last four games.

Since beating the Mudbugs 5-1 on Jan. 22nd the Bucks lost their last two meetings with Bossier by a combined 11-3 score, both in Laredo.

The Mudbugs sit in fourth place in the Berry Conference and are coming off of a 5-3 loss in Allen Wednesday night. Bossier starts a three-games in three night stretch against Laredo, with all three games coming at home.

The Bucks will travel to Texas on Saturday night. Game time is 7:30pm.
