A Sea Of Red

The baseball team has a twinbill against the Owls today... starts in about 35 minutes. Hopefully we can keep up the same offense/defense/pitching from last night. Tons of baseball today. Love it.

Woah... did we downgrade the livestats?

Those are just ridiculous.

Guessing this isn't on the radio, is it?

Edit: The game notes say it will be on 90.9. Let's hope so.

Nope...they are finalizing some things with the broadcast schedule and who is going to be calling games this year. Hopefully game broadcasts will get going after the break

And Temple has brought a lot of LOUD fans who cheer on their team. When I was at the game yesterday, I almost thought I was in Philly.

Swanson having some trouble getting out of the first. He struck out the first batter but he reached on a passed ball, and since then he's just not been having good luck. Double steal, reached on error, RBI ground out. Lots of small ball that has to be frustrating him.

Finally gets out of the inning, and Matt Williams starts off the top of the Liberty 1st by getting plunked. We've been getting hit a lot by Temple Pitching...

McKoy for Temple has struck out twice, but both strike outs were on passed balls. That can't happen all that often.

Offense is struggling a bit at this point... just can't seem to get things going.

Jeff Jefferson goes yard and his 3 RBI's put the Flames up 3-2.

Doug Bream with a Pinch Hit Grand Slam!

The Flames have settled down on the mound and opened up at the plate, and it's now 14-2, as we get yet another pinch hit home run.

Sounds like a great day at the yard. Wish I were there.

and another pinch hit homer! Wow... the Flames are just going crazy on the Owls' pitching staff.

The Flames fell apart on the mound a bit in the 8th, and give up 7 runs to the Owls, but still hold a 16-9 lead.

Flames win 18-9

Cody Brown 3-4
Trey Wimmer 2-3

Swanson goes 6 innings for the win, allowing only 2 runs.

I guess we didn't have 10-run rule in effect. That's rare in a twinbill. Glad we picked up the win now let's grab another.

Beautiful day for a baseball game. Had a couple of hot dogs & a bag of peanuts in the shell. That 8th inning was ugly, though, giving up 7 runs. Still, a great way to begin spring break!

Game 2...

Flames break out in the 5th with back to back homers from Errol Hollinger and Cody Brown, and an RBI single from Curran Redal.

4-1 Flames

Curran Redal with a solo bomb and we're up 5-1.

Bottom of the 8th and we start to run away. 11-1 now.

Flames win 11-1.

6 Flames with 2 hits a piece... Curran Redal drives home 3. Shawn Teufel goes 6 2/3 for the win.

So far in the series, the Flames have outscored the Owls 41-12.

LU scored the same number of runs in the opener yesterday than Temple has scored this entire series

Either EVERYONE on LU's squad this year is really really good or Storm knows when to make moves!

Flames complete the 4 game sweep winning 15-11 today
