After World War 1 ended in 1918, Hornets baseball resumed in 1919. Felix Hayman and W.M. "Bud" Moore were the owners of the new South Atlantic League club. The 1919 Bees had a roster of players like future Major Leaguer Zach Taylor, and manager Ernest "Ernie" Burke. The Bees finished with a 55-41 record in 2nd place that season. The 1920 season wasn't any better, with the Hornets finishing 4th, with a record of 58-68. The 1920 Bees roster included former 1916 Hornet Ben Paschal, and Skipper Friday, who played in the Major Leagues for the Washington Senators in 1923. The 1920 club was managed by Herb "Dummy" Murphy (left photo). The 1921 club again saw Ben Paschal. He previously played for the Boston Red Sox from September 7 - 28, 1920. That year, the Hornets were managed by three managers. Eddie Hooper, Red Day, and Erza Midkiff. The Bees finished the 1921 season in 6th place, with a record of 52-93.

For the 1922 season, the Hornets got a new manager. Former Cincinnati Reds and future Boston Red Sox player Richard "Dick" Hoblitzel. With a roster including former manager Herb "Dummy" Murphy and Ben Paschal, the Bees improved, finishing in 2nd place with a 73-59 record.

Hoblitzel would again manage the Hornets in 1923. Fred Heck and Ray Kennedy were part of the 1923 roster. The Hornets became the class C South Atlantic League champions that season, with a record of 89-56. 73-48 2nd.  The Hornets fell short of league champions in 1924, defeated by the Augusta Tygers. Ray Kennedy would manage the '24 Bees, and the roster would include names like Pat Crawford and Cleo Carlyle. The Hornets would again finish in 2nd place for the 1925 season, losing to the Spartanburg Spartans. Clubs like the Columbia Comers and Knoxville (TN) Smokies would play against the 1925 Bees. The roster included players like Art Ruble and Richard "Moon" Ducote, who was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. Ducote is seen in the right photo during his time on the 1914 Spring Hill College football team. At the end of the

1925 season, the Hornets would finish with a 79-50 record.

The Hornets didn't get close to becoming league champs in the 1926 season, as they finished in 4th place, with a 77-72 record. By 1926 Ray Kennedy had managed the Hornets for three straight seasons. The '26 Bees would play against clubs like the Greenville Spinners and Macon Peaches, and the club's roster included players like Chuck Rowland, and Dale Alexander. 

The 1927 season would be Ray Kennedy's last season managing the Hornets. The roster for that year included players like Howie Camp and Charlie Butler. The club would finish the '27 season in 6th place with a 72-78 record, which was worse than the previous season. The 1928 season field a roster of players like Earl Brown and Joe Poetz, but the club would do even worse, finishing in 7th place, with a 60-86 record. Former Major League player Heinie Groh and later Abie Hood would manage the 1928 Hornets. Dick Hoblitzel (left photo) would return as manager for the 1929 and 1930 seasons. The 1929 Hornets would improve that season, finishing with a 79-67 record in 3rd place, but they would drop down to 5th in 1930, with a 61-78 record.
