Oh well, I have to drive into work. The game will probably be over by the time I arrive. Somebody drop in some commentary if you feel led.

[Cider Jim]

Fumble, you went to Sedalia??? I almost went myself, but I'll definitely be there in June with my camper for the Bluegrass Festival.

Now, back to baseball...

[Sly Fox]

Before I go, here is Tim John's line through 5 innings:

5.0 Innings Pitched
4 Hits Allowed
2 Runs Allowed
1 Earned Run
3 Ks
2 Walks

Not bad for his first start since last year's conference tourney.

Sly: No idea. I didn't make the trip. We have someone from the Rock Hill 'wrap freelancing it. Would have ended up being very expensive trip, especially if LU lost in the first game. Eight-plus hours of driving, plus overtime for me, plus meals, etc. So I asked my boss if we should freelance it instead. If LU wins both and goes to the NCAAs, I won't go either, but that's because I'm going on a pre-planned vacation next week, not because the company won't pay for it.

My thinking on the issue would have been entirely different if Liberty was undefeated heading into today, rather than being in the loser's bracket.

Fumble, you went to Sedalia???

Well worth the $12...and ran into Scorcho, there (who was NOT wearing the "colors," I might add...

It was all sorts....some vinegar...some dry rub...some rot gut beef BBQ that I simply spit out. A group of engineers that just enter occasional contests was my fave...a dry rub with a great tomato-based sauce.

OK...nothing like some BBQ to go with Mem Day weekend baseball. Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

[Fumblerooskies]

Crud...2-run jack ties it at four.

Anyone else find it amusing that the logo for the home team on Live Stats is a SOFTBALL girl?

I was just thinkin' to myself...what a despicable stat board.....i've seen much better top notch looking stat boards....ugh!!

[Fumblerooskies]

Unfortunately, it appears the game is going south...
....Coastal leads 6-4 after 7

Use this one, it's much better than Winthrops.

[Cider Jim]

Chants take the lead by 2 runs, but we start out the next inning with a lead-off double.

now that's what i'm talking about! thx!

[Fumblerooskies]

2 on, 2 out...and another pitching change for Coastal...and Negron up.

[Cider Jim]

9th inning coming up, Flames down by 1.

[Cider Jim]

Chants win BSC tournament, 6-5. Flames go 3 up, 3 down in the ninth, but still finish runner-up in the tournament.

[Coastal89]

Good game. The Flames definately showed they'll be in the mix next year. FWIW, Nick McCully's pitches to your last batter were 96mph on the scoreboard radar.

[krh44]

Great effort- tough loss today

[Sly Fox]

Congratulations to the Flames on a terrific season under the circumstances. You guys stood up toe to toe with arguably the best team the Big South has ever produced.

[Fumblerooskies]

Congrats to the players and coaches...for finishing the year strong.

[bigsmooth]

an up and down year, but a strong finish will help for the future. congrats to the players and coaches on a fine season.

[PAmedic]

thanks to Coach Royer and the guys, esp the seniors, for making us proud

good strong finish- and a couple great conf series results this season; WU comes to mind

[Chantzilla]

Congrats Flames on a sturdy tournament effort!

Looking for bigger & better things from you guys in 2008.

I hope we represent the Big South proudly during the next week (hopefully the week after that & the week after that too )
