Todays game will be the warmest but temps will be falling and the winds are out of the WSW in the 20-25 mph range. Could really make it interesting.

Go Flames!

[jcmanson]

This dude's been coaching there for 43 years

[flamesfilmguy]

reached the 600 win mark as a coach in 2006. and is the second longest tenured active coach in division I behind Augie Garrido of Texas by 1 year.

[Sly Fox]

Love me some Augie references.

Tulane typically has a strong squad so don't make assumptions about Siena based on one series in the Big Easy.

[jbock13]

Siena 0
LU 1

end 2nd.

I'll update each time a team scores.

[PAmedic]

gametracker now has it 1 all w/ LU about to bat in the bottom of the 3rd.

they are out-hitting us 6-2.

not a good start but plenty of time to rally

[jbock13]

yep, tied at 1, mid 3rd.

[jbock13]

LU 2
Siena 1

end 3'th.

LU scores on a Siena 2 out throwing error.

[NotAJerry]

Do we really have the speed and aggressiveness that forces teams into errors, or are we just benefitting from a lot of sloppy play so far?

[jbock13]

LU 3
Siena 1

End 4'th.

[jbock13]

Do we really have the speed and aggressiveness that forces teams into errors, or are we just benefitting from a lot of sloppy play so far?

Most likely sloppy play. I mean we obviously have a good team but it's not like we're playing very stiff competition.

[jbock13]

5-1 LU, end 5'th.

[sporter]

With Kimmerer coming into the game in relief, wonder if he is getting set up to start one of the the mid-week games next week vs Virginia or JMU.

[jbock13]

Flames win 6-2.

[jinxy]

Could be the plan. Either way the JMU UVA games will be 2 of the top 5 toughest teams we face this year with UNC CCU and St Johns in there.

[jbock13]

1-0 LU, mid 6'th (7 inning game)

[jbock13]

LU wins Game 1 1-0.

[NotAJerry]

That's the kind of result that should make everyone happy. That's two good starts out of Ecklebarger. Hopefully that's a sign that he's going to be a legit Saturday starter this year.

[NotAJerry]

Down goes Frazier!

They had to lose one eventually and they finally did. 9-7 Sienna in game 2 today. The scrappy, efficient offense was still there but the staff couldn't quite give enough to sweep the DH. Still an excellent start to the season.

[PAmedic]

crap. you know it had to happen sometime, but losing to a team that was 0-5 kinda blows.

oh well. On to the next one. Still swinging the bats well it would seem.

[jinxy]

Did toman really just try to squeeze with bases juiced and 1 out with your number 3 hitter at the plate. Man another big mistake, just like the runner falling down around 2nd yesterday killing the rally in the 9th. I had hoped we were beyond teh questionable decisions. Yesterday really wasn't Toman's fault (other than putting Bankemper out there yet again). Just not sure about squeezing with your 3 hole hitter at the plate with a sac fly opportunity, maybe it wasn't a squeeze but it sure sounded like it on radio.

We really need Grauer back,

Now Cox with a bad baserunning error that erases another runner. We have done some idiotic things on the basepaths the last two days.

[jinxy]

dispite all our attempts to give them the game, siena is even more gracious. 2 errors right through the 3b legs today, another balk, and the continued in ability of sienna to field a bunt haha. This team is pretty bad, it's kind of upsetting we lost that game yesterday. Anyway, flames up 4 to 2 headed to top 8. Clowers heading back out for his 4th inning of relief, decent 4 inning start from Lambert.

[BJWilliams]

Liberty wins 4-2 (despite efforts to the contrary on the basepaths)

[flamehunter]

Clowers with 5 innings of no-hit ball to get the win. Great outing for the freshman.
