Lamar Wins Opener 8-3 Over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi

LU scores in five different innings

Feb. 22, 2008

EDINBURG, Texas -- Jeff Vickers and David Moore combined to drive in four runs and Brian Sisk struck out six in five innings as Lamar defeated Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, 8-3, in the season opener at the Al Ogletree Classic late Friday.

Lamar (1-0) had seven hits and scored runs in five different innings en route to an 8-0 lead which allowed Sisk (1-0) a comfortable lead to work with as he scattered two hits and three walks.

Tyler Link went 2-for-4 with a double and Chris Dunkin also had a double.

TAMU-CC (0-1) didn't score until the eighth inning when Chase Williams hit a 3-run home run.

Lamar will be back in action on Saturday afternoon when they face Sam Houston State at 1 p.m. Junior left-hander Justin Walker (0-4, 4.58 in 2007) is scheduled to start for the Cardinals. True freshman Brent Powers will start for the Bearkats (0-1), who fell to Illinois 6-4 earlier in the day. .

I was called Thursday by the LU office to inquire about me doing their baseball PA for this season but dont think I will with the Catters doing so well, plus with the upcoming playoffs I have no clue what the playoff schedule will be or how long thus making it hard to commit to LU.

Best of luck to the Catters, I'm sure you do a great job for them. Maybe next season?
