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. 

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.

Buna's Denton Peveto throws a perfect game in 10-0 win over Warren.  5 inn. 0 hits, 0 walks,  9 k's.  45 pitches, 35 were strikes!

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

Word on the street Piss State getting a mudhole stomped into em by Vandy right now. 

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.

Winner!

nice rally for Lamar now let's hold it in the 9th

Yes sir. A solo and a 2 run homer in the 8th and still threatening. 

Back at it.  Conference play against UNO. Decent crowd on a windy night.

Yes, so many formats used and they seem to change every year. Just have to try to put ourselves in the best position come tournament time and try to have momentum into the end of the season.

All the conference series you either get 3 at home or 3 on the road and looks for now the toughest teams we are getting on the road.

Lot of interesting non conference games remaining on the schedule as well.

Formats are ever changing.  Really liked what the SLC did last year.  Quite sure you know but in case others don't and read this. The #1 and #2 seeds each hosted a 4 team double loss tournament and the winners faced off the following weekend at the highest reaming seeds home for a best of 3. Made it to game 1 of the final series and the McNeese crowd filled their stadium quite nicely.  That format is "dead" for a while for sure with McNeese holding hosting rights through I believe 2026. 

New info.  Got this directly from an athletics employee at an SLC school.  The format is 7 teams, but no bye.  6 and 7 face off in a play in game then it becomes a 6 team double loss elimination set up. Makes for a strange bracket as a winner and loser will face off on day 2.  This sets up a situation of 2 different brackets possibilities for the remainder of the tournament based on the outcome of that game (4 or 5 teams remaining).  When Lamar was a Sunbelt school this 6 team format was used at least a few times.

Do you have a link to that format? I've searched and searched and all I can find is last year's tournament.

I searched all over as well.  

I simply read it in the preseason picks article on the conference website.  Odd number to take, but I have seen this done as a reward for winning the regular season. 

It's in the last sentence of the article. 

Non conference win tonight. 9-2 over Texas Southern. 

Fun battle between the teammates.  The WBC is a great exhibition.  On to the regular season.

Lamar started nicely at 9-0. Now they have lost 6 of the last 10. I can certainly understand the losses to LSU and Missouri, but the 2 losses to an average Penn team at home and now 2 chokes vs St Louis, a team that is worse than most of the Southland conference teams is not very good baseball. I do not know who coaches the pitching staff, but they are doing an extremely poor job. Unless they change things in a hurry, they may not make the conference tournament Hopefully they will improve quickly

The tournament, according to the SLC website, will take 7 teams.  Quite sure LU will be in the top 7 out of 9.

Freshman Class at EC will be Special !!! 

Does the class above or below have athletes that can help?  At the 3A level 1 class of athletes will still likely have a few "holes" to fill. 

Cajun wife rooting for Japan. German husband rooting for Mexico. We are having an international incident in our home. 

Regardless of the outcome...tomorrow night the winner vs USA is must watch TV. 

Lamar sets at 3-3 in conference. The 2 series this far have been against the preseason picks of 2nd and 3rd place in conference.  Play McNeese (preseason favorite) this weekend at home. Pull of 1 win and a 4-5 start against those schools would show signs of an improving program. 

Ugh. 

3 game set against St. Louus moving south to Millington Tennessee.
