Nice win is correct. Bats need to come around in conference play. Conference ranks 17th out of 31 of utilizing Boyd'sworld Interactive Strength Rating.

Lamar stops the "bleeding." Wins finale 6-1. 5-7 in conference play.

Hopefully.

Very early in conference especially for teams that have already had the bye/off week....with that said UIW and HCU are about to be sitting 1-2 in conference if HCU can hold a 8 run lead in the 9th (not a given based on their season) against Northwestern State. UIW and HCU were picked at the bottom of conference. McNeese, SELA and LU are presently 6, 8 and 9. These 3 schools were picked 1, 2 and 3. What a sport.

LU falls apart tonight. Drop it 9-7. Gave up 6 in the 8th.

Johnny "whole staff " in a week day game is beyond common. Lamar must win the conference tournament to get to the post season at this point. Thus, why not utilize multiple arms in a weekday game is how most if not all coaches would view it. Definitely not a good idea to extend one of your top arms prior to a weekend conference series. I would enjoy a good conversation about baseball, but if an overwhelming majority of your posts are negative you can have this portion of the forum.

9-7 winner in game 2. Game 3 coming up.

Let's play 2. Double header today starting at 2. Need to scratch out at least 1.

[Hidden Content] Presently Lamar is hitting 30 points below last year's total with many of the same position players. Hopefully several can get on a hot streak soon. Pitching staff is loaded with new faces.

The record of late has been underwhelming and yes 11 hits is more than a team wants to give up but pitching around that and giving up 3 earned should have led to a win. The pitching is dramatically better than last year. It simply is.

Today's game had 3 earned runs. One simply because scoring doesn't allow for an error on a double play attempt. The batter that eventually scored the 1st run of the game reached only due to an errant throw. Several seeing eye ground balls. The pitching was more than adequate today. The position players for Lamar would likely tell you today's loss was in their hands not the pitchers. No matter what one may think of the pitching staff, today's game should have been won and the hitters/position players are surely still upset with their performance at the plate.

37 innings of baseball and 20 runs is quite decent. That's an average of 3.78 runs per nine. That's actually top notch. I'll take that horrible pitching squad and compete with them any day. The offense was lacking this weekend, but it's baseball.

Drop the finale 4-2. Not much offense today.

Game started out as though it would be extremely high scoring early and with the low humidity and light north wind it was the perfect for that to happen. The 3 homeruns (2 for LU) today were hit hard no doubters and several lazy fly balls crowded the warning track. The score was a bit high, but it could have easily been double digit scoring for both squads. As you stated, a nice win but a little more excitement at the end than the home team and crowd wanted.

Winner 9-7.

Kreuzer and Tauzin threw a combined 2 innings last night. Quite sure both are available today. Look for baseball to be unpredictable as baseball is prone to be. Would be nice to see a few bats to get hot and then remain consistent producers. 8 strikeouts last night in 67 at bats. So, they were putting ball in play. Missed last night's game and have no idea if it was a bunch of soft contact or what, but do need more production.

Lamar loses game 1 of series. 9-8 in 19. Multiple chances with runners in scoring position but couldn't push one across in extras. Back at it a 2 tomorrow.

Lamar and Nichols starting their 3rd game worth of innings. 8-8 top if 19th. Curious if this has set or getting close to an all time record for extra inning game in Cardinal history.

[Hidden Content] For those interested and don't follow that closely. Quite sure those of you involved in the thread have already checked this out on your own.

9-4 winner. Banks, Bremudez, and Ramirez all with a multiple RBI day.

Lamar 6-4 headed to bottom of 7th. UNO plated 4 in the top.

Missing today's game, but the bats are doing damage at times. Two massive young men, Banks and Ruiz, have each gone yard. 5-0 Birds through 4.

45 pitches to 15 batters is extremely low and with 9 strikeouts mixed in makes that even more statistically surprising. A 2:1 ratio is quality. He was on a 4:1 ratio for balls and strikes. Normally seeing something like that would suggest a young man just throwing fast balls and getting hit hard, but he threw a perfect game. Quite unusual. Well done, young man.

Tough day. Couldn't get a timely hit. Well played game overall

26-3 final in 7 innings. Vandy missed a couple of extra point attempts. Box score shows Mississippi State commiting only 1 error. MS gave up 20 hits, 10 walks, and plunked 3. Merely a horrible night is all. 61 runs given up in 4, yes only 4, conference games.
