Baseball versus Sam Houston

[geezer]

2nd weekend of conference play. Cards are up 2-1 in the middle of the fourth inning of game 1.

[geezer]

Middle of the 7th with the score still 2-1 in favor of Lamar. Douthit started for Lamar and through seven innings has 108 pitches. Would be nice to get a couple of insurance runs.

[geezer]

Between relief pitching and fielding error Lamar gives up the tying run. Two errors on the second baseman and three pitchers used in the top of the eighth.

[geezer]

Cards coming to bat in the bottom of the ninth with the game tied at two.

[geezer]

Lamar wins 3-2 on a two-out error on the Sam Houston right fielder with two out in the bottom of the tenth. The error allowed Snell to score from first base.

We are looking good at this point.

[geezer]

Kemp homers to extend Lamar's lead to six in the bottom of the eighth and Lamar holds Sam scoreless in the ninth to take the second game of the series 8-2. Great start for the Cards. Here's hoping for a second straight sweep.

Game 3, SH leads LU 1-0 top half of the 3 inning.

[geezer]

Sam Houston picks up another run in the top of the sixth. Lamar gets runners on in the bottom of the sixth but fail to score. Going to the top of the seventh with Sam leading 2-0.

[geezer]

Cards get three runs in the bottom of the seventh to take a 3-2 lead.

[geezer]

Relief pitching in the top of the eighth, has a rough outing so far. Leadoff hitter reaches base on an error, followed by a double to score one and then multiple more hits before the ninth batter of the inning becomes the first out. Sam gets a total of seven runs in the top of the eighth to reclaim the lead 9-3. Will take a big comeback for the Cards to win this one. Edited March 20, 2022 by geezer

Lamar scores no runs in the eighth or nineth as Sam wins the last game of the series. Cards fall to 5-1 in conference play but are still sitting atop the southwest division. Cards travel to Corpus Christi for a mid-week game before going on to UTRGV for the next conference series next weekend.
