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.

Birds win 7-2. Jarrett Williams threw 5 innings of scoreless relief to pick up the W. Put up 12 hits with Tracy, Wagoner, and Kummer having 2 each. Kummer had a homer and 4 RBI on the day. SELA 10 run rules HCU, thus they and our Birds are 15-8 in conference play. Northwestern and SFA are locked at 1-1 in the 9th. Immediately after posting the above information, Northwestern walks off SFA. Northwestern sits a half game back at 16-10.

Lamar falls tonight. Olivier, the conference leader in ERA, gets roughed up in the 3rd giving up 8 earned runs. Cards put up 10 hits and score 7 runs, but fall 11-7. Northwestern with a big comeback to beat SFA and SELA hammered HCU. So, tied with SELA and they each hold a 1/2 game lead on Northwestern.

East Chambers is not involved in any district seeing games. I have no idea on Buna and Kirbyville nor how the district tiebreaker rule reads. A tiebreaker game between the 2 would keep each from trying to find a playoff warm up game if each wants one. Could even play each other if the seeding is already determined. Some districts are still playing this Friday, so warm-up game opponents may be difficult to find.

Pull out a broom. We have a sweep. LU 3-1 winner in the finale.

Walk off win on a passed ball. 4-3 win in 15. What say Uncle Spidey, we in 1st.

Very good night at the Beck. Olivier with 11 K's in a complete game and a quality offensive showing by the Birds. 5-0 win.

Some coaches fail exercise physiology even after they have graduated.

LU with a 10 run rule in 7. 11-1 victory. SFA falls and SELA wins. Thus, Lamar sits in 3rd tied with SFA (holds tiebreaker) and 1 game back of SELA. HCU has a big lead on Northwestern State ans if it hold they will have taken 2 of 3 from the Demons. This will bring them back to the pack a bit. Huge weekend coming up as the Birds host the Demons, SELA heads to UTRGV, and SFA will be hosting Nicholls. Can Lamar pull a top 2 seed or do we hope for a good destination for the first round of the conference tournament? Time will tell, sun will rise tomorrow, and my Uncle Spidey will have a complaint.

LU drops the middle game against Nicholls 11-10 in extras. Now 1 game behind SFA and SELA for 2nd.

LU shutout for the 3rd time in 4 games. Only 3 hits as the offense continues to have struggles. SELA loses to Corpus. Thus, pending the outcome of SFA vs. UTRGV, LU will be in a 2 or 3 way tie for 2nd. HCU beats Northwestern. So, the top 3 teams all lose tonight. Hopefully some of the guys thst produced last season can make late season turn arounds.

Sure will make what year to choose to be a "free agent" very interesting. Also, sit back and wait for the other senators to add amendments until we are right back where we started.

Lamar with a 9-0 win today. Nice day at the ball park with clear skies and a light wind blowing in from center. Durbin and Sparks went deep and Tab Tracy had a multi-hit day. Three pitchers combined for the shut out and gave up a total of 4 hits. Overall good day and sit tied with Northwestern at 10-5 at the "midpoint" of conference play. At TCU on Tuesday and then host ranked Oregon State starting on Thursday.

Lamar falls in extras 5-3. Not enough offense on a low humidity night with a slight wind blowing out. LU only had 5 hits on the night. Olivier with another strong outing going 6 innings with 7 K's and giving up 2 earned runs. Rubber match at 1 tomorrow.

Our Birds beat San Antonio's birds. 5-2 final. Long game despite the low score. Quite a few walks and a good numbe of runners left on by both squads.
