Sisk Outstanding In 9-2 Win Over Northwestern State

Jeff Vickers belts his fourth home run of the season in the Cards' 4-run fourth inning

NATCHITOCHES, La. - Lamar scored four runs in the fourth inning and that was more than enough of a cushion for Brian Sisk as he struck out five in eight innings to lead the Cardinals past Northwestern State 9-2 at Brown-Stroud Field in the first game of their three-game Southland Conference series Friday.

Lamar (29-19, 17-8 Southland) scored four in the fourth and two each in the fifth and sixth innings as it opened up an 8-1 margin en route to extending its lead in the SLC East Division to 2.5 games with five to play.

Sisk (9-2) threw a season-high 122 pitches while scattering five hits and walking just one. Four of the hits were singles with his only mistake coming when he gave up a solo home run to Anthony Jones to lead off the fifth. But the senior then retired the next seven and nine of ten before leaving after eight full innings.

Lamar opened the scoring in the fourth with four runs on on three hits. After loading the bases on a bunt single, fielder's choice and a walk, Brian Taylor scored on David Moore's sac fly to left. Steven Tucker then scored from third on a double steal when Travis Dunson drew a throw when he broke from first to second. Jeff Vickers crushed his fourth home run of the season high into the pine trees in left to put the Cardinals up 4-0.

LU loaded the bases again an inning later thanks to a Logan Pace single and a pair of hit batters. Pace and Taylor came home when Travis Dunson hit a single back up the middle to make it 6-1. Two more runs scored in the sixth thanks to RBI singles from Pace and Taylor. Pace finished with three hits and two RBI - both of which tied his season-highs.

 

The Cards added an unearned run in the eighth when Jeremiah Sammy reached on a error and scored on a double by Pace.

Northwestern State (25-24, 14-10 SLC) managed just five hits and only two base runners advanced past first base. Jimmy Heard (6-4) allowed six runs on four hits with five strikeouts and two walks for the Demons.

The teams will continue their series with game two on Saturday at 2 p.m.

      I’m super excited for this game.  PNG has the team and game plan that will slow TH down.  No way we can stop them the entire game, but I feel if we slow them down we can win similar to what we did last year to Lake Creek and SOC.

      Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.

      I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3

      Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
