What was the fricking score?

You should really learn how to use the internet.

just getting home from the game. wow what a scene! D1 was fantastic on the mound, and Perritt is a beast. Dalton Britt also stepped up which was huge for a freshman. I spoke with an athletic dept official and their early word is charlottesville or chapel hill but who knows. we are in and that is all that matters. The Campbell AD said he is very concerned that will get left out and Coastal will get in. it was cool to see some locals at the game too who are not LU people. just a great day to be a Flame.

btw...haize is a closet campbell fan

It would be good for BSC if 3 teams got in, but I am not sure if Campbell and Coastal gets in.

I like tournaments because they give everyone a shot at NCAAs, regardless of regular season. LU has proved this both in basketball and baseball.
Who knows, we may even win a regional

Our closer is a stud.
We have a great stadium.
The nachos, with cheese and chili were good.......all 8 chips.
LU finally took advantage of a Campbell miscue with the throwing error. They did not look impressive but LU left Waaaay too many runs on the bases.


BTW Smooth is just IN the closet

The Chancellor has been to more of Sir Elton's concerts than I.

Super glad we won and we're in a regional. This team had all the talent in the world to be this good all season. I'm glad we were able to finally put it together when it mattered. I'm secretly hoping we get thrown in the Nashville regional while knowing there's no chance that happens.

What a turn of events. So happy for Toman the staff and the guys. This week was kinda similar to that feeling in 04 when the sox finally overtooke the yanks (obviously it's not totally the same). What could have been with a healthy herndon, marsh & Sype ;(.

I dont care where we go, i'ld like to avoid NC State because of the Rondon kid, we'd surely face him in game one. Can we root for VT to win the ACC tourney then get sent there with William & Mary? That would be a nice scenario.

What a week. So happy for this team.

[thepostman]

I have been so incredibly critical of how this team has been managed all year but I couldn't be happier for this team and my school. Proud of them all.

Hoping for the best come regionals.....

crow never tasted so good. heck of a job by toman and co. and gutsy performance by the team.

hopefully this finally gets jt going in the future.

would definitely go if they were to get thrown in Nashville. I'm only two and a half hours from there.

Seems like the season just started in Columbia, it has been frustrating at times but I think our SOS really helped us in the end. You have your UVa, UNC, Tech, USC but WVU & MD are better than what given credit for. Also the stretch where we played UVa, Coastal,UNC in a week was rough. Stinks to lose those games but I think it helped us for this prepare for this week. We lost a lot of close games due to the inability to score runs at times. Six games and down 2 of your better pitchers this week is insane. Some freshman have come a long way since the season began.

Some Random thoughts:

Agree with you Krh44 - the SOS absolutely helped. Campbell is a very good team that was stymied by a great pitching performance by Josh/Ashton and some great defense.

Ryan Cordell showed why he will be a solid draft pick next month as he covered 2/3 of the outfield and made it look easy.

Everyone needs to understand what Ashton Perritt did this week: 4 saves with 0 ERs while pumping 93-94 mph heat; 2 HRs, 2 other hits to put us ahead in the 8th/9th inning. That doesn't happen unless you are a freak athlete which he is.

Crowd was very good.

On a side note, had a tour of the stadium suite and clubhouse levels this week. The player's lounge, locker room, weight room, etc surpass many SEC and ACC facilities. What a great recruiting tool.

Let's go Flames - absolutely no reason we cannot cause someone trouble next week. Josh and Ashton have showed a couple of times this year (including against UVA) that they are capable of shutting down strong teams and our bats are more than capable of putting a few runs on the board.

This is unreal!

This has been a long time coming especially those who remember the 06 tourney!

I think Coastal will squeeze in. Looking at the Camels SOS, no way.

What is it with LU, y'all get don't care about the regular season of sports anymore? Psst.....you can't do that in football. Congrats on the win though.

Maybe y'all will get what is left of this A-She-She classic semi of UNC/NCSU, currently in the top of the 17th inning tied at 1, approaching 1 am.

Great video recap by Nick of the final here on the AD site.

http://www.liberty.edu/flames/?PID=1086 ... 16&TeamID=

Check out the postgame interview of Toman. Apparently the basketball coach that not too long ago a lot of us wanted to show the door played a part in this. I think I may have even detected a bit of tearing up on the part of the tough guy there at the end.

[olldflame]

Lest anyone thinks we didn´t beat their best, we faced all BSC starter Ryan Mattes, and ending up giving all BSC closer Ryan Thompson his first loss of the year. Dude was 9 and 0 with 10 saves and an ERA less than 1!

[olldflame]

After seeing it for the first time on the recap, does anyone else see similarities between Alex´s scoring jaunt and the one that another former Flames first baseman will forever be remembered for?

[panther1]

What is better? Beating Coastal two times in a row?, or Winning the Big South 2-1 over Campbell?

I was thinking the same thing. The slide part 2

I think Campbell will get in not sure they deserve based on schedule.

Ironically, their SOS is hurt by the fact that they didn´t play Coastal this year.
