Lumber Company went 2-2 to take 5th out of 19 teams in the May 3rd and 4th USSSA "D" Qualifier in Joliet. The 5th place finish earned the LoCo an unpaid USSSA "D" State tournament berth to be played in Joliet August 22nd-24th. Lumber Company opened 2003 USSSA play against Unishippers from Hainsville, IL. This game was all Lumber Co. as they came out on fire winning by a score of 14-1 in five innings.

Lumber Company's last game of the day was against Primetime from Joliet. Primetime came out firing, scoring 8 runs in the top of the first inning. But the Lumber Co. battled back to claim a 14-13 lead after 5. Primetime came right back adding 6 in the 6th to go up by a score of 19-14.
