A Sea Of Red

Look like we will be the 7th seed playing HP on Tuesday morning.

Call me crazy but I actually think, despite the pitching situation, this Liberty team could win the tournment were it not for the 800 lb gorilla in the room. Except for the pitching, they seem to be getting hot at the right time.

Just dreaming though....Liberty had little to no chance of beating Coastal once, much less twice a few years ago, right?

Our average pitching went into overdrive during the 2013 postseason and got us pretty far. This year's pitching is less than average, more like borderline abysmal. The 3 games we played CCU this year looked like batting practice pitching and not D1 pitching . . . but anyhting is possible.

Austin Perritt ain't walking through that door.

Once tournament starts its a new season. We could get pitching staff in order and win the BSC.

I recall ACC tournament last year. UVA was playing terrible. They sneaked into NCAA tournament and won college world series

I think we better focus on one game at a time. High Point is going to be out for revenge. And it gets no easier from there. For the players sakes' I hope they do represent themselves and the school well.

FIFY

Oh wow. That's a horrible autocorrect. Thanks Beej.

Here in Texas, it seems like every other boy is named Austin. That slipped by me as well.

Big South Baseball Tournament Preview & Predictions

Anytime Jon.

Btw DJ Artis just announced as freshman of the year

I dont see us winning more than 1 game. Having followed the program for about 12 years now i can say two things for sure. You have to have a lot of pitching and we will need to stay in the winners bracket to have any shot. We just dont have enough reliable arms to fight through the losers bracket. The only other way is to slug our way through a couple which i think is the only shot. The conference is way down outside of coastal. Thats all the mor frustrating part about this season.

We have zero chance of winning the tourney. Wish I was wrong. Not enough pitching and inconsistent offense at best.

Congratulations DJ! Kid looks to be a staple of this team for the next 3 years.

Well 1 game would be an improvement over last season. It would be nice to win a couple but don't see that happening...

Flames take 1-0 lead in the 3rd

2-0 Flames after 5. DeGroat pitching a 1 hitter with 9 Ks!

Sweet!

Because of the 9 Ks as well as 3 walks, DeGroat has thrown a lot of pitches. Unlikely he can go the distance.

6-0 in the 8th

Now 6-0 in the bottom of the 8th. an effecient 7th inning has DeGroat at 122 pitches.

Clouse now on the mound.

Zander walks the leadoff man and then retires the side in order. We go down 123 in the top of the 9th. 3 outs to go!

Flames win 6-1 !

Clouse loses the shutout but Flames win 6-1
