Thanks for keeping us posted, Chris.

1-0 Radford, middle of 1

Stokes gets the first two outs, allows a hit, then hits a batter. Negron boots out 3, Stokes walks in a run then gets the final batter to ground out, stranding the bases loaded.

[Chris Lang]

Toman just got tossed

[Sly Fox]

Already? The umps clearly have lost their patience after all the scoring in the first game.

I look forward to seeing the Storm coverage online from Knucklevision.

[bigsmooth]

what the??? is storm just trying to fire up the troops???

[Chris Lang]

Didn't like the strike zone on Stokes, yelled "Good pitch!" after a ball, got warned by the ump (Ted Miller) and all heck broke out from there.

Still 1-0 RU. Highs with a runner on second, one out.

[ToTheLeft]

That runner scores... 2-0 RU.

[flameshaw]

One run unearned, becuase of an error, not good. Looks like the umps have thier rabbit ears out today as well. Hard to think someone would get their nose out of joint because of a "good pitch" comment. Midol?

[Fumblerooskies]

Umpires trying to exert their authority and show up the coaches. Freaking anti-Liberty Big South bias.

[Chris Lang]

Stokes is getting pepper sauced here.

[Chris Lang]

5-0 Radford. Hollinger's throwing error allows two Highs to score.

[ToTheLeft]

We leave runners 1st and 3rd with one out, still 5-0.

[jcmanson]

I'm guessing checkmate will be on tonight

[Chris Lang]

7-0 now, 1 out in the 4th.

Your team didn't show up today. Play like this tomorrow against Asheville, and they'll be home safely by 5 p.m.

very disappointing. you would think the guys would be ready to play but clearly they are not. i have to question the coaching staff on the preparation, but in the end the players have to get it done on the field. let's hope the guys can comeback!

Respectfully you can't question preperation, it is execution. 3 unearned runs already. We are pitching our #1 guy, he appears to be having an off day and we cant hit their #2 pitcher? It will be interesing to see who is playing where next year. You can't commit 85 errors in a season, continue to do so in the tournament and expect to win it.

[bigsmooth]

mental preparation.

[flameshaw]

Preperation H?

[Chris Lang]

Toman's out for tomorrow, too, because it was his second ejection of the year.

[Chris Lang]

Now 15-3 Radford. Possibly the worst game I've ever seen Liberty play. There was an excuse for the April 16 VT game ... staff day, day game after playing at W&M the night before. Not for this.

[krh44]

Pretty sad - hope we can rebound tomorrow, one thing to get smoked but the 6th place team doesn't help matters. That was the longest three hours.......

[SuperJon]

Lang's Facebook status from two hours ago actually made me laugh out loud.

[fmrflame]

looks like we didnt want to take advantage of our 2 seed. Looks like we will have to do the same thing we do every year, put uneccesary pressure on ourselves and win out. Hope the guys can pull it together so Toman will be able to come back and coach these guys to a championship.

We love you checkmate.

[bigsmooth]

UNCA at 11am. i really hope we are ready today!! and winthrop upset VMI last night as well thought that hardly surprised me.
