The Red River baseball team isn’t in the Division III Non-Select playoff brackets released Tuesday by the LHSAA.

The Bulldogs (13-15) ended the season on a four-game winning streak with a double-header win against Mansfield (19-2 and 15-0 scores) and wins against Saline (8-1) and Ebarb (5-2).

But Red River started that streak more than 1.5 power points out of the 24-team playoff picture, and the Bulldogs couldn’t push their way into the postseason.

This season’s 13 wins easily eclipsed the nine wins in 2025, but a deeper Division III Non-Select prevented the Bulldogs from making its sixth straight postseason appearance.

The Bulldogs last missed the postseason in 2019, winning at least one round in 2024 and 2022 while losing by a single run in 2021 and 2023.

Red River had its best season in program history in 2024, reaching the quarterfinals for the first time.

Red River spring sports won’t totally be shut out of the postseason. The softball team will learn whether they will host a first-round game when the softball playoffs are announced today.
