A Sea Of Red

We've moved up to number 14 this week with a tough week ahead. Tuesday we host the #14 Tar Heels and then Campbell comes to Lynchburg this weekend.
UNC is 11-1 and although Campbell is only 5-7 I think they are a pretty good team. By no means will this be an easy series against them.
I'm really looking forward to this weeks matchups as UNC is our first real test since the Gators.

So, what is LU's highest ever D1 ranking for baseball?

Never mind. Just saw on twitter that #14 ranking is tops.

This LU pitching staff is legit!

love the pitcher who closed out the game

freshman in 8th looked really composed...and really good. Wasn't epectng to see him in a late inning 1 one game against rank team.

Was reading some of the Tarheel boards. Many positive words about our TV broadcast. They were blown away by it. Good work guys.

Great to see an actual crowd there. They sounded very loud on tv. Guessing the 16 Sears front and center belong to Prez ? Those need to be filled, not sitting empty...or is it another case of out of state ticket holder that never comes...one section had a single person in UNC gear...I thought BC would have trained the ushers better...

That was some well played baseball. Both of these teams wouldnt look out of place in Omaha this year. The sold out crowd really helped make this game feel like a big deal. I wish we could do that more often.

Those 16 seats are reserved for MLB scouts.

Harrington will be a handful. 0 runs and 13ks (Ap State), 1 run and 9 Ks (Ohio State), and 1 run 11Ks Maryland. Last year gave up 1 run against us with 6Ks.

They also have a very good shortstop.
This will be two tough games. Saturday was cancelled and they’ll have very good starters for Friday and Sunday.
Harrington is dominate 0.45 WHIP and a .104 BAA.
Kuehler has an 0.62 WHIP and an .078 BAA.

's enjoying a HR derby today

Harrington and Neto as good as advertised. Liberty getting dump trucked at the moment.

Can’t win ‘em all. Got our butts kicked today. Neto and Harrington are the real deal.
No worries, let’s start another 11 game win streak Sunday.

Kuehler will be a handful as well. He's Harrington with a mid to upper 90s fastball.

Yeah, he’ll definitely be a problem.
I’m certainly not in panic mode yet, with only run 1 in our last 2 games, but the offense is a bit concerning I think.
We rely too heavily on just a couple of guys and it also seems we’ve been too home run reliant early on. Orndorff obviously can’t keep up the hr pace he’s been on and I’ve said this already but the second half of our lineup poses almost no threat.

Best part of the game was the concessions: I got a super-sized grilled hot dog and a large root beer for only 5 bucks!

I’ve had the same before. I love the big wiener!

Ballcoach, how does this 7-0 loss to the Camels compare to the softball team's loss to Chuck South?

No comparison. Everyone knew Camels had good pitcher.

This is correct, which does not change how ridiculous the original assertion that the softball loss to CSU was Liberty's worst ever was.
BTW, Campbell's #2 starter is almost as good.

We badly need a split on Sunday.

DID YOU SERIOUSLY JUST POST THAT

your poor wife

Suggest you don’t run around south jersey yelling that

Scoreless after one. Keuhler is every bit as good if not better than Harrington. These will probably be the 2 best pitchers we see all year. Add in the shortstop Neto and it’s 3 of the top players we’ll see.

Why did Trey Gibson leave the game so soon?
