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.

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.
