The schedule gets tougher this week as Flames travel to California. Oregon and UCLA are top 10 teams. Loyola Marymount, UC Davis, St. Mary's, and Cal Poly round out schedule.


Granted the opponent's pitching wasn't great in Florida, but LU ranks among leaders in NCAA D1 stats after 1 week of play:

OB%: 1st
Batting average: 4th
runs per game: 4th
stolen bases: 5th
Triples: 5th
Slugging %: 7th
ERA: 25th
Doubles: 32

Anyone know where I can find "live" updates to this game. It appears they have blocked out all internet access to game, other than Flopro or something like that, which charges 16.95 a month to watch game online.

one positive note, I don't think we have fielded the best lineup yet, in any game this season.

You win some. You lose some. And some get rained out.
All games today got rained out.

Lose to ULCA 7-1. not good weekend, but the first 2 games were winnable. Now head to Florida next weekend, for more tough games, I think we will do better at Disney.

Well at least the team wasn't run ruled. It looks like they were competitive against this tough part of the schedule.

Any word on why Julia DiMartino is not pitching?

She pitched 2 games in Florida, one start, one out of bullpen. She was involved in a collision with 1B, then gave up HR on next pitch. Someone said she may have hurt her hand . Probably just holding her back until back to 100%. Hopefully she will be ready to go this weekend.
If we get pitching staff straighten out, we should be in good shape. Most teams ride one or two pitchers. We have 5 who can win games, if match-ups are good.

The Pitcher from Cal Poly was very good. We helped her by swinging at rise balls that were way to high. Hitters have to stay disciplined. The UCLA game was a very good outing for C. Cassady, she pitched up to the 6th inning holding UCLA to 3 runs only 2 earned. We were down 3-1 into the bottom of the 6th. Liz Engler came in and did a good job but a few mistakes cost us the 4 other runs. We pitched and played way better than the final score reflected. We should have won the first two games on Friday.
