  1. Looks like another area that Lamar needs to improve on, especially in the rivalry with McNeese. Sixty thousand more attendance could help with recruiting and NIL potentially.
  2. Yes, for some reason they have given two-year JUCO players an extra year of eligibility, not sure if that rule applies to one-year JUCO players. Nothing against him but I hope one of the other guys beats him out for the starting job.
  3. Cards baseball season is over with a disappointing performance in the conference tournament. Cards lost to AMCC 12-5 in the elimination game.
  4. Apparently Lamar doesn't play well in Edinburg. After dropping yesterday's opening game the Cards are down 6-3 in the bottom of the fourth inning making five errors so far on the day in their second game.
  5. Lamar sweeps HCU to capture 3rd place in the regular season. Bad news is they travel to UTRGV for the first round of the conference tourney and get a fourth straight game against HCU in double elimination play to see if they can get to the championship series.
  6. Cards play Texas close until the bottom of the eighth. The score was 4-2 at the end of seven and Lamar got a home run from Skinner to close the gap to one, but Lamar pitching ran out of gas in the bottom o the inning giving up five runs to fall by a final of 9-5. Cards will close out the regular season with a three game series at home against HCU beginning Friday at 6 PM. Cards need a sweep to guarantee the fourth seed.
  7. Lamar drops game three of the series with SLU and now has ten losses in SLC play. With three conference games remaining the best Lamar can do is fourth place and will need to win at least two of three against HCU and win at least the same number of games in the final series as Northwestern St does in their final series to hold on to fourth place.
  8. Cards had the bases loaded in both the first and second innings but could not get a run across and wind up falling 4-0 in the second game of the series with SLU. The loss along with the results of the other games today drops Lamar back into fourth place and with just four conference games remaining very little chance of moving up to second for a host site in the tournament.
  9. Lamar takes game one of the series with SLU 5-0 and now are only one game out in the loss column. Game two is tomorrow at 6 PM.
  10. Ladies keep their season alive with a 6-5 win over E TA&M. Evening game between UIW and McNeese postponed due to weather. Will need to see how that affects game time tomorrow.
  11. Lady Cards fall 4-0 to UIW in the opening game of the SLC Tourney. Cards will play ETA&M tomorrow at 3 PM in an elimination game.
  12. Lamar did change pitching coaches this year and I would agree that especially the second-tier pitching isn't as consistent as it was last year. But on the other end of the scale batting average is up overall.
  13. Lamar falls 13-6 at Texas A&M. The Cards scored a run in the top of the second to take the early lead but then gave up ten unanswered runs over the next four innings to be down by nine runs starting the top of the 7th. Neither team scored in the seventh and then in the top of the eighth the Cards scored five runs aided by a missed call by an umpire. A&M got three runs in the bottom of the inning and held Lamar in the top of the ninth for the win. Lamar travels to Hammond on Friday to take on Southeastern in a pivitol series for the conference. If Lamar can get another sweep they could enter the last week of the season tied for second at minimum, but that will be a tall order.
  14. Update per the SLC website which was updated following end of play on Sunday. Lamar is in fourth place by themselves, tied with UTRGV in the loss column but three games behind as RGV has played one more conference series than Lamar. Lamar is one game back of McNeese who is in second place with one less loss than Lamar and UTRGV and two games back of first place SLU who Lamar plays next weekend in Hammond, but before that that the Cards will travel to College Station for a mid-week game against the aggies on Tuesday evening.
  15. Lamar sweeps UNO with a run rule 13-3 performance Sunday afternoon. Cards move into a tie with McNeese for third place as UTRGV sweeps the Cowboys to move into first place with a twenty and seven conference record and only one conference series left. Lamar has two conference series left one with Southeastern and one with HCU. Cards will need to win both series and have a little help to get to the second place hosting spot.
  16. Lamar drops the rubber game of the final series with UIW and ends the regular season in fifth place.
  17. Cards win game two against UNO, guarantying a series win and with the four teams ahead of them in the standings playing each other a good chance to pick up a game in the standings. Cards go for the sweep tomorrow at 1 PM.
  18. In the second game on Saturday, UIW scores three in the first and three in the third before Lamar scores six in the fourth to tie the game. The game will go scoreless then until UIW gets a walk off hit in the bottom of the seventh to end the game.
  19. Lamar takes opening game of final conference series of the year 4-3 in ten innings at UIW. UIW got out to a two run lead in the bottom of the first. The teams each scored a run in the third. The score sat there until Lamar got a two out home run in the top of the seventh to tie the game. Smith pitched eight and a third innings before giving way to Guidry. Lamar got the go ahead run a two out hit in the tenth. For UIW Jacquez pitched all ten innings with thirteen strikeouts on the day.
  20. Cards take game one of weekend series versus UNO with a bases loaded walk off hit in the bottom of the 10th. 4-3
  21. Cards split there two mid-week games with a loss to Houston and a victory over Prairie View A&M.
  22. Lamar announces another piece to the 25-26 season puzzle. Rob Lee is a transfer from Wayne State. Cardinals Hit Portal to Strengthen Backcourt - Lamar University Athletics Wayne State is a D-2 college. Probably similar to Dawsey from last year but a junior instead of a senior transfer.
  23. Northwestern State takes game three. This loss really hurts Lamar's chance for getting one of the two top seeds for the conference tournament and unfortunately probably also makes a really small chance of Lamar getting an at large berth to the NCAA Tournament. Cards still have three conference series to play and four mid-week games with three of them against Power Conference schools to close the regular season but the pitching will really need to step up.
  24. That will be up to those that haven't suited up yet as usual. If I remember correctly, Gambrell was a big-time scorer in high school. Christian Thomas averaged a double-double in high school and the latest signee Lowe's press release doesn't say much about scoring at minimum you would expect him to be good facilitator and defender. Also, assuming Knight is back he and a couple of other returners haven't lived up to the expectations yet although Knight in particular showed signs that he could.
  25. Cards fall in ten innings. 2-1 Missed a great opportunity to make up a game on two of the teams ahead of them in standings.
