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.

UNO delivers a gift to Lamar as they take 2 of 3 from Nicholls with an extra inning win today. Lamar now has a 1 game lead on Northwestern and a 2 game lead on Nicholls for the 2 seed and hosting in the first round. HCU will be trying to hold on to its 1 game lead while holding the tiebreaker over Corpus for the final spot in the tournament next weekend when the Birds face off with them. UTRGV sits 1 and 1/2 back of Lamar as well, but is off next weekend and LU swept them to open conference play. There are many scenarios, but 2 wins by Lamar next weekend guarantees hosting in the first round.

Birds take final home game 8-2. HCU in Houston next week starting on Thursday.

First pitch of the final regular season home game in about 10 minutes. Cards win and they will hold at least a 1 game lead on Northwestern and Nicholls for the 2nd place spot which gives you a host site in the first weekend of conference postseason play. A loss and you could be tied with both. Don't know the conference tiebreaker, but Lamar would have a 4-2 record against the other 2 with Nicholls at 3-3, and Northwestern at 2-4. Next week, Nicholls finishes against SELA, Northwestern against McNeese, and the Birds face off with HCU. Watch, wait, and wonder. Another nice day at the Beck.

Yuck. 10-0 in 7. At least the weather was nice.

SELA takes game 1 with a final of 6-2. The long ball hurt the Cards as the Lions had 3 solo shots. LU struggle of leaving runners on bites em' again as they leave 11. Game 2 in about 40 minutes.

Series with SELA will start with a double header at 1 on Saturday. Let's play 2.

Birds go nuts. Put up 20 runs on 19 hits. Five players had multiple hits. AJ Taylor went 5 for 5 (2 doubles and a homer) with 5 RBI. Tab Tracy and Balen Valentine with 3 hits each. Travis Lutz gave up 1 earned over 6 innings on the hill. No help from HCU as they were swept by SELA. SFA trails by 1 in the bottom of the 7th on the road at Northwstern. Cards travel to Rice on Tuesday and then host SELA in the biggest series of the season. Get your butts to the Beck! Lamar's team batting average jumped 5 points from 1 game. Should no longer be last in the conference in that category after the weekend. Had a few guys with high expectations for the season that have struggled come through nicely today. Hopefully, a start at hitting well the rest of the way. SFA knocks off Northwestern. Finally go a little help this weekend Northwestern is now a game and 1/2 back. They only have 3 conference games left due to the 11 team conference and they have not been off yet. Lamar holds the tiebreaker from the sweep last weekend. REMEMBER: 1 and 2 seeds host first weekend of the conference tournament.
