You shouldn't have doubted them! Wink wink.

HCU walks off Nicholls with a homer after having the exact same thing happen against them last night. UTRGV and Nicholls are the first teams eliminated. Lamar and HCU survive and advance. Night games (Northwestern vs. SFA and SELA vs. McNeese) start at 6 with the winners needing only 1 more victory. The losing teams in tonight's games will need to win 3 in a row just like Lamar and HCU. Hope to see good crowds for what is hopefully 2 games for the Birds tomorrow. Could be wrong, but like my favorite complainer, UTRGV and SFA worry me most. UTRGV is now out so hoping Northwestern can win tonight, thus leaving Lamar needing only 1 win over SFA instead of 2. Despite Northwestern having good pitching, the wind constantly blowing in at the Beck has me thinking you want them to be the team you have to beat twice as the do not swing the sticks well at all. Lamar bats have been suspect all season, but they are capable.

Birds stay alive with a 3-2 win. Make it 5 post season wins.

LU has a record of 4-13 in post season play under Davis. I believe I calculated that correctly.

Every higher seed except SELA falls tonight. LU shutout by SFA. Play UTRGV at 1.

Final - Salado 10 HF 1 in game 1.

Northwestern State wins the opening game of the tournament over UTRGV, 6-5. UTRGV is likely the team that Lamar wanted to immediately pick up a loss. SFA and Lamar will play in a little less than 1 and 1/2 hours. McNeese beat Nicholls by a final of 11-3 in Hammond. The Christians play the Lions in the night cap in that bracket.

If I'm reading the standings and tiebreakers correctly, LU will face SFA with UTRGV and Northwestern State facing off in the "Beaumont" bracket next week. SELA, Nicholls, McNeese and HCU (clinched final spot today) will be in the "Hammond" bracket. Go Cards and any team other than SELA on the other side of the bracket if you want ball at The Beck for 2 more weeks. Uncle Spidey ends the season complaining. Ag is irritated. All is right in SETX land. In the words of General Patton, "God help me, I do love it so."

Outfield (infield is turfed) in Hammond has been deemed unplayable. Lamar will be the 2 seed regardless of the outcome of today's game against HCU. LU has replaced most of the starting position players and did not bring the starting pitcher after getting in only a half inning of yesterday's game.

Game 3 will take place with a scheduled start of 1:00 after rain and lightning put a halt to today's finale HCU must win to get in the tournament. Davis had the usual suspects in the lineup as Lamar has a shot to be champs if Nicholls can take both games of a double header against SELA tomorrow. If those two split Lamar could be co-champs but would be the 2 seed. Another scenario could be only 1 game played in Hammond tomorrow as the weather there could cause problems especially with lightning delays. I would assume they would not play Monday. Wait and see.

Just went into a lightning delay in the bottom of the first. Will follow on game tracker.

Birds take game 2 of the series. Finale of the regular season in about 15 minutes. HCU with backs against the wall. Must win or hope for UNO to fall to Corpus for the final spot.

Final day of the regular season. Warm day in Houston. Big day for HCU as they likely need to take 1 game to make the tournament.

I have been wondering if we would get a Lamar softball post this year. If only they would have gotten rid of the coach!

Birds clinch 2 seed. Northwestern State and Nicholls both fall while LU knocks off HCU.
