[geezer]

The Friday night game has been a pitchers dual through five innings. Still 0-0, Lamar has three more hits than UCR and have left more men on base, but haven't scored yet.

Lamar wins 5-0.

Riverside took out their starter to start the sixth and Lamar took advantage of the change. Ellis got the start for LU and pitched 7 and a third scoreless innings for the win. Good start for the weekend.

Interesting that the 1st base coach for UC-Riverside is Chan Varela, Lamar alum and former baseball player, circa 2016-2017. Varela is a California native.

Actually I spoke with Chan after the Sunday game and he said he had nothing to do with the scheduling. This series had been scheduled when Lamar was in the WAC and part of a WAC / Big West Conference agreement.
