1-1 top of the 7th. keegan on the mound has allowed 7 hits and has 8 K's.

[SumItUp]

We go up 2-1 at the end of 7.

[Chris Lang]

2-1 Final. Linza with the CG.

[BJWilliams]

Liberty wins 2-1...Keegan Linza going the distance for the win

[Sly Fox]

We're starting off league play much better than the beginning of the season. Let's get two more from the Bucs.

[bigsmooth]

good win to start conference play! Linza continues to impress.

[Chippy]

Awesome!!

[WinthropEagleFan]

New bats+Friday starters=these scores tonight in the conference openers...

WU over VMI, 2-1
LU over CSU, 2-1
UNCA over GWU, 3-2
PC over HPU, 4-1

(and in non-conference action, CCU lost to Pepperdine, 2-1)

[SuperJon]

Keegan's throwing really well right now. We get 8-9 innings out of him every game so I hope he doesn't hit a wall at some point. He's pitching like I knew he could this year.

According to the local fishwrap, Coach Toman got tossed again Friday night.

CJ, I missed the game last one (my first miss!), so I don't know what happened. Hopefully, it wasn't too big of a deal. The one against Binghamton was quite an "event".

[Chris Lang]

It wasn't an event. Quick hook. He did stick around for a good five minutes to harrass both umpires. Toman is likely suspended today since he's been tossed twice this year. From what I hear, Friday's crew was the same one that did the second Maryland game, and Toman got into it with them up in College Park. Might have been some residual issues from that.

Yep. Two out of three of the umps were from the second Maryland game. What was he actually tossed for?

[Chris Lang]

Arguing Jefferson getting called out at second on a steal attempt.

[olldflame]

We take game 2 5-1 as Niggli pitches our second straight complete game gem. I hope the bullpen guys brought their textbooks so they could get something accomplished during the games.

Arguing Jefferson getting called out at second on a steal attempt.

Gotcha, thanks. The umps had a "tough" game again today too. Both sides were chirping from the dugouts on a regular basis. The homeplate ump was giving it right back to the CSU bench on a number of occasions.

Another complete game effort - today by Niggli, and three hits each for Doug Bream and Haley.

What a beautiful day to watch baseball!!

[BJWilliams]

Its good to see our starters getting long innings and preserving the bullpen. we have had a complete game in 3 of the last 7 and had the starters go at least 7 innings in all but the second Maryland game (I think). Its good to preserve arms wherever possible. If Steven can build on his last start and go 7 that will be big

[bigsmooth]

agreed with BEE-JAY...our starting pitching is doing is getting it done right now. hopefully evans will follow with another gem. not tryung to look ahead, but i would love to see us get our midweek starters nailed down.

[olldflame]

I think Garrett Baker may have secured one of the midweek starting slots.

[BJWilliams]

He may have...he absolutely did yeoman's work in the first game against Maryland...8 sterling innings after Kemmerer got off to a rough start.

[BJWilliams]

Liberty leads 5-2 in the top of the 9th as Steven Evans is working on the third straight complete game for the Flames

[BJWilliams]

Evans go the distance and LU gets the sweep with a 5-2 win. I wonder when was the last time LU got a sweep with three straight complete games...

[krh44]

Nice Sweep. A little cooler than yesterday. Lets keep the momentum going against the Hokies

[flameshaw]

Great job by the guys this weekend. Keep it going.

[SuperJon]

Great series for the guys. With Coastal continuing to struggle (albeit against good competition), this year is starting to look like it may be the one where they're beatable in the tournament.
