Yes, for sure the bats need to keep rolling. I don't know if either McNeese or Nicholls has one of their better pitchers "stashed" back to pitch in these games. Not sure either how we will go about using our staff. These tournament series often end up in a game similar to last night when all the pitching has been used up.
Reminds me of game 5 of the 2017 World Series when Houston beat Los Angeles 13-12 in ten innings.

just wanted to save an inning...oh well I hope we have enough now.

woo hoo grand salami

6-0 OUR Cards after 1/2 inning.  4 doubles and a home run.  All very hard hit balls. 

I was fretting at the early lost opportunities...we had 5 hits and 6 walks but only 2 runs at that point. Then I was hoping the pitching was going to hold up but it didn't either.
So yes now it would take 5 straight victories to win the tournament.

Good information. 
I simply want 3 things. The other side of the bracket to go it's full allotment of games.  Anybody but Nicholls (their offense and pitching compliment each other the best from that side of the bracket IMO) coming out of the other side.  Lastly, Lamar ease through 3 games on their side. Too greedy???

UIW wins 14-4. UIW is 1-5 against SELA and Corpus.  This should make UIW the 8 seed.  Thus Cards vs. Cards in the first round of tourney.  Game time, who knows???  Just thankful they are not facing SELA in their home ballpark to open the tournament.  

I will let Southland figure it this year on the tiebreaker. I think it was the WAC I did the spreadsheet on a few years ago in a complicated situation.
Top of the 5th it is early but McNeese lead Nicholls 9-3.
Other than falling into the 1,4,5,8 or 2,3,6,7 part of the bracket the seeding probably doesn't help a whole lot toward winning the championship. Again, it will be who plays well next week. Already happened to McNeese on the women's softball...lost 2 conference games all year then eliminated in the tournament and missed the NCAA tournament.
I guess we will chat next week and maybe a little on the other message boards but always appreciate all the inputs.
 

Cards fall 2-0.  Big crowd today.  Possibly largest of the year. 

8-4. LU takes series opener over Northwestern State. 

IMO, LU will have to win conference tournament. I don’t see the Southland getting an at-large bid.

I’m thinking of going back to college. Heck, it’s free. Maybe Big Girl can transport me back and forth. I hear if you are old enough, they will feed you also. Might as well sponge as much as I can.

Well the top of 9th was a little hairy but Lamar hangs on to win 2-1 over SLU. Our pitchers have really had to earn their wins.

speaking of McNeese - 40 years ago on March 9, 1984 Lamar beat McNeese in a Southland Conference tournament game to win their 80th in a row at home. amazing accomplishment.

Well how bout that. Aided by an error, Lamar scores two runs with two outs in the bottom of the 9th to pull off a 4-3 victory.
Really needed this win and this series being at home.

Well Lamar wins 1-0. Combined no hitter. Ellis only allowed one walk through 9 and Neal with one walk in two innings of relief.

Yes, I base part of it on SOS and part on reputation of them and the conference.
Lamar is actually ranked 35th in the USA Today coaches poll so a few people are noticing them.

i fell asleep during the game and woke up and they were still playing in the 9th inning. oh well, a W is a W.

Birds sweep. 11-9 finale. Start conference 3-0 and now sit 19-4 on the season. 4 games against Big 12 next week. U of H for 1 game and a 3 game series at ranked OU. 

I was present for today's games. 

just over 2 minutes left...love cheering for the underdogs.

Go GCU! 

Good job JMU!💪🏾

Enjoying James Madison and Wisconsin game so far

After a very sluggish start Lamar gets it rolling in the second half to defeat A&M Commerce by a score of 83-58.
