geezer Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Top of the fifth and still 2-0 Islanders. Lamar just not able to deliver the key hit as they have had runners in scoring position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Palmer to pitch for Douthit in the fifth. What's up with the Lamar pitchers? Douthit hit at least three batters and Palmer hits the second batter he faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Sixth inning more relief pitcher woes for the Cards. Palmer hits another batter followed by a triple to make the score 3-0. Content comes in relief for Palmer and gives up three more runs. Now bottom of sixth with the Islanders up 6-0. As this is supposed to be a seven inning game, it doesn't look good for the Cards.

geezer Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Two out in the top of the third. Ekness ran out of gas. He walked the lead off batter, struck out the next two but then walked the next three including two wild pitches to score runs for the Islanders. Johnson coming in in relief with two out and runners on 2nd and 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Fourth inning Johnson gives up two runs. Gets the first two batters to ground out then gives up four straight singles before getting the third out. Lamar gets one run back in the bottom of the third on a homer by Durand for a 6-4 lead at the end of four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Top of the fifth, Islanders get four more runs to take an 8-6 lead. Gotta blame this on Davis. Every batter that came to the plate in the fourth put the ball in play with the bat and Davis allowed Johnson to return for the the fifth. First five batters in the fifth reach base for the Islanders with a walk and four hits before Johnson gets a ground out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinny1 Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Lamar next action is on the road next weekend at Abilene Christian, with the typical SLC weekend schedule. Heard that the SHSU series that was not played last weekend due to COVID issues with Sam, will not be played. Wonder if the SLC will take 10 teams to tournament versus the scheduled 8 as was done in basketball since the complete conference schedule will not be completed?

geezer Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 It seems the conference will need to do something as between covid and rainouts there are a lot of missing games and the won loss records at the bottom of the conference are too similar.
