Lamar baseball team drops 2 of 3 to SFA

[eagle eye]

This season of pain by LU is almost over after dropping 2 of 3 to SFA this weekend. Their record falls to 16-36 and 10-17 in conference. They have been leapfrogged by several teams in the past couple of weeks as they currently are 11th in the SLC standings with only a 3 game series next weekend with McNeese. The only thing left to wonder is why the big tumble from last year's squad that went 33-25 and finished 7th in the SLC. Did LU lose that much to graduations? The first recruits by Coach Will Davis are just sophomores so I think he needs at least 1 or 2 more seasons to see in which direction the program is going. This season is a real disappointment for sure and who knows how Marco Born will react given how quickly he passed judgement on Holly Bruder. Anyway, all eyes will turn toward football now. September can't come quickly enough for my money.

Probably over simplified but overall poor batting, only one player hit .300 and only two others were close. Rarely got the timely hits. Only two pitchers returned that had any significant number of starts last year and one of those had a worse year this year than he did last. Comment from sports radio about coaching success, (it's not the player that you don't get that hurts you, it's the ones you get that fail to perform to the level you expect).
