Lamar 8-5 in 6th inning

Lamar off to an 8-0 lead after 3 innings. Game was delayed by lightning storm.

I would say volleyball was the worst (forever since even a winning season) Softball next (terrible teams not even competitive since Bruder was fired) Football consistently horrible and non-competitive Basketball was decent during Tic Price era - not great - but usually decent but this year was a horrible year. You didn't ask but Women's Basketball also mediocre since Harmony left and of course baseball mostly mediocre seasons under the Davis era.

I thought of this as well although a different person that had played for Lamar. Maybe with a new AD you feel a little more comfortable because you would be their hire. Just too much chaos with the whole Lamar athletic department - not to mention each individual program - to want to give up a secure job you know is going well. Whoever takes over the Lamar program is pretty much back to building a program from scratch.

Anybody heard any word on this? It has been two months and all is awfully quiet. Time for some shakeups in our athletic department.

Utah Valley eliminates Lamar 9-5 in WAC softball tournament.

Lamar 10 Southern 1 FINAL Weekend series next at Abilene Christian

Speaking of pitching I did a little research. Our two main starters Wheaton and Douthit have started 23 of the 48 games this year and are the top two as far as innings pitched. Only two other pitchers have started more than 5 games this season (Ekness and Morse). The pitcher with the third most innings pitched is reliever Jack Dallas. Our overall ERA is about 4.31 but runs allowed per game is closer to 5.5. This reflects all the errors I have constantly mentioned. The defense is putting extra strain on an already thin staff. When you get to these tournaments you will be in a ton of innings over a day or two. With so few pitchers that have been depended on it's tough to see making a deep run in the tournament.

UTRGV wins 6-1

Lamar plays Utah Valley on May 11 at 10 am in a single elimination game in the WAC tournament. The winner moves to the double elimination portion against Abilene Christian at 4 pm May 11.

Trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the 7th Lamar scored four runs to take a 5-2. Starting pitcher Adam Wheaton pitched 7 1/3 innings giving up the two runs (only one earned) as again the defense committed two errors. Jack Dallas pitched the final 1 1/3 to earn another save. Rubber game of the series Sunday at 1 pm.

Lamar falls 9-5. Starting pitcher Douthit goes six innings and gives up two runs (none earned) as Lamar commits four errors again. Three relievers combine to give up seven more runs. Game 2 Saturday at 2 pm.

Well still accurate on your prediction. Lamar loses a doubleheader Friday to Sam by scores of 2-1 and then 8-0 in five innings. Now sitting at 79 losses over the last two seasons.

Well you got your split with TSU winning first game 1-0 and losing the second 2-1. Next up the weekend series with Sam.

Look at the first page when you come into Lamar sports forum. One topic is Lamar softball and one topic is Lamar basketball. Then all the softball and basketball info is under these two topics.

Is it possible we could make a category called Lamar baseball and put all the baseball under that? We have softball and basketball separated. It would be easier to locate each main subject. Just my two cents.

In the final conference series we host 12-38 Sam Houston. Sam swept us at their place and is 31-69 over the last two seasons. Also, from what I keep seeing all the teams eligible for bid will make the WAC tournament because there are only 8 teams eligible for an NCAA bid. Am I reading that correctly?
