WAC Baseball Tourney

[geezer]

Tourney is underway with UTRGV and Sac State playing. Cards are scheduled for a 6 PM BMT start, but this may be delayed depending on how the two earlier games go.

[geezer]

UTRGV takes the first game of the tournament versus the 2nd seed from the west division. Next game pits Sam Houston against NMSU.

[geezer]

Sam Houston falls in the second game of the day. Two games and the lower seed has won both. Hope Lamar breaks that cycle.

[geezer]

Douthit struggling early giving up three runs in the top of the second.

[geezer]

Lamar got a run in the bottom of the second to trail 3-1, and then got three runs in the third inning to take the lead. Douthit was pulled in the fifth inning. Seattle ties the game in the sixth inning with a solo home run. Interestingly all of the runs have been recorded on home runs.

[geezer]

Lamar got two runs in the bottom of the sixth to retake the lead 6-4 and then holds Seattle scoreless the last three innings to get the win and advance in the winners bracket.

Good to get that first win in a double elimination tournament.

GCU took down ACU in the final first round game last night and Sac St eliminated Sam Houston in the first game today, Thursday. Lamar will play GCU in the final game today.

Day three and Cards get an early lead with two runs in the top of the first on a triple by Blankenship, driving in Bermudez and McDonald who both walked.

[geezer]

Cards added a run in the second then gave uprun in the bottom of the second. Cards bats have been silent for the third and fourth innings and Lamar gives up four runs in the fourth to fall behind 5-3.

We SUCK!!! Bunch of guys who cannot hit, and Durand. 2 pitchers in douthit and Wheaton and nothing else.

[PeckEm]

And I wish I was cool as Kemp thinks he is. What a joke.

[geezer]

Lamar is unable to find a reliever that is able to shutdown ACU and give up four more runs so far in the bottom of the seventh, still with no one out. Score currently 9-3 in favor of ACU.

[lamarfan360]

Lamar just does not have enough quality pitching. That was evident in the Cardinals mid week record.

[PeckEm]

Our hitting is lousy.

[geezer]

Cards fall 9-4. Even though there was a lot of disappointment, this was still a successful season, really for the first time in multiple years. This team was heavy with seniors that got the job done, will be interesting to see if Davis can follow this year with another good one next year.

[lamarfan360]

Well Lamar had a good year! Coach Davis has some talented shoes to fill including Jack Dallas.

Was a very good year. Some of our better hitters bats looked slow vs the gcu pitchers - Kemp, Macdonald and Blankenship. We have a good core of players coming back. Need to pickup a couple of good hitters and a lot of pitching help (looks like Douthit is the only reliable pitcher we will have coming back).

[geezer]

ACU eliminates GCU with back-to-back wins and plays NMSU for the championship.
