Baseball at Abilene Christian

First game of 4 game series starts at 3pm today. Saw ACU play UT-Austin a few weeks ago on the LHN and they looked like a solid baseball team. I think we have our hands full this weekend.

Bottom of the 5th inning, game tied 1-1. Douhit on mound for Cards.

Come on Cards. Lets start this series off right!

[Skinny1]

Top of 7th, Cards leading 2-1 on lead off homer by Snell.

[Skinny1]

ACU ties game in bottom of 7th.

[Skinny1]

Top of the 9th inning, game still knotted at 2-2.

[Skinny1]

Lamar loses on a 2 out, bases loaded single 3-2. Shucks!!!

Relief pitching still a wild ride for Lamar. Lost another one. Walk off single in the bottom of the ninth.

Dang we just cant win a opening day game.

When your fighting for the last conference tourney bid, you can't afford these kind of losses. Nicholls scored 8 runs in the top of the 10th to defeat conference lead SELA to gain a two more point lead on Lamar. Lamar is four points back of Nicholls for eighth place.

My Livestats feed isn't updating yet. D1 Baseball site shows ACU up 1-0 in the bottom of the second of game two.

[geezer]

Bottom of the third with ACU up 5-0

[geezer]

D1 shows ACU up 8-0 in the bottom of the fourth. Game two doesn't look good for Lamar. Also shows Nicholl leading in their game two against SELA

[geezer]

Lamar gets three runs in the the top of the sixth and chase the starting pitcher but unlike Lamar (relievers most of the time) the ACU reliever gets the first batter he faces out to end the inning. ACU up 8-3

[geezer]

Lamar got a home run from Quirion in the 7th to make it ACU 8-4 but as this is the first game of a double header 7 innings is all you get so Lamar drops the first two of a series again.
