Who pitched batting practice (8 runs!!) for the Roanoke game?

[ballcoach15]

Escobar, but I think we had 3 errors, plus a couple mental errors, that wasn't on scoreboard.

Schedule update

We travel to UVA today for 6:00 p.m. game. Tomorrow, we play Sweet Briar at 3:30, 7 inning game. Apparently we had to drop Averett, because we played Lynchburg 2 games a couple weeks ago. D1 teams are only allowed 8 games in the Fall.

[ballcoach15]

In 10 innings UVA won 5-4. Score was tied after 7 innings 3-3, Liberty lead 4-3 after 8.
We out hit UVA 11-6, but left a lot of runners on base. Our pitching was decent. Used 4 pitchers. We played entire roster. Our freshmen had some good at bats against UVA pitching.

[ballcoach15]

Final score LU 32 Sweet Briar 1. Love and Yoder combined on 1 hitter. LU hit 7 home runs, including 4 straight in one inning.
Good to see pitchers throw strikes, only 2 walks.

[Chippy]

Nail biter.

Anyone know what time the scrimmage/game with UVA is scheduled for this Friday?

[ballcoach15]

6:00 p.m. unless it's changed

[ballcoach15]

Looks as if UVA has more fans at game than Liberty. Very embarrassing.

[jbock13]

Sorry that nobody cares about out of season exhibition games.

[Cider Jim]

Only 3 members of the Old Men's Club were there, and only 2 of us stayed until the end of the 10th inning.
But LU came from behind with some clutch hitting and great relief pitching to win 11-6. And the Hoos committed 4 errors!

[ballcoach15]

LU won 8-4 in 7 innings and 11-6 in 10 innings. Wilson had 2 triples, Bazile and Deter had doubles. Barrett and Fortner had 2 hits. Freshmen pitchers Yoder and Love combined for 6 no hit innings with 5 strikeouts.
KK Madrey made a sports center play of the night catch in left field, going up and over the wall, robbing UVA of a home run

[Cider Jim]

LU won 8-4 in 7 innings and 11-6 in 10 innings.

Ballcoach, are you counting that as ONE win or TWO wins?

[ballcoach15]

1 win, in scheduled 10 inning game.
