coastal also hit 4 batsmen.....3 of which came around to score.

that's baseball.

[BJWilliams]

Would you say the same thing had CCU lost or would you have talked about giving them runs too?

[g-webb1994]

Probably the wake up call CCU needed to bullrush through the rest of the tourney.

FWIW, you guys should handle UNCA easily this evening....

homer: (noun); see BJ Williams.

I have to give him credit though. Nobody can break down what might have happened, quite like Beej.

8-1 LU, bottom 7'th.

2 RBI single by Wimmer in the 2'nd.

2 run HR by Close in the 3'rd.

Parmley bunt squeeze play scores a run in the 4'th.

Cox with an RBI single in the 7'th.

Wimmer with a 2 RBI double in the 7'th.

Well if you think about it, if he doesnt make maybe one of those errors, its probably a different result. Their SS is a sophomore as well so you have to hope it doesnt kill his psyche going forward

[BJWilliams]

And the squeeze play finally works...too bad it couldnt have worked sooner...

[BJWilliams]

Liberty has blown this one wide open after a 2 run double from Trey Wimmer...its 8-1 LU

[jbock13]

9-1 now.

Well, we're moving on

[BJWilliams]

Liberty wins 9-2. will play winner of Campbell and High Point tomorrow in the nightcap of day 2

[bigsmooth]

Great start by the guys! Niggli was his usual self and Alex close continues to be a beast! Now let's go high point!

[krh44]

delay in HPU/CU game

Very interesting note regarding the format/schedule of the remainder of the tournament. Believe most everyone on here, including myself, thought that the teams played a double elimination mini tourney within their pod and the survivors played on Saturday for the NCAA berth. If you look closely, and it was validated by the Big South Commish who was standing there while I was looking at the bracket today, the teams that survive the first two games in their pod actually cross pods for the Friday night games. This is similiar to the SEC format of the past couple of years. The reasoning according to the Commish, was to mix the teams up a little and not have to replay the teams in your pod. What is means for us is that if we win tomorrow night, we go to the top bracket and play the surviving loser. If we lose, which we aren't going to do, we will have to win a game in the loser's bracket and then beat the winning team from the top twice on Friday, which will be either Coastal or Radford.

On a side note, the HP/Campbell game was suspended until 9:30 in the morning. Believe we will still play ours tomorrow night but there is absolutely a chance our game could be played on Thursday with the loser having to play again that day while the winner looks to Friday.

[Rooster Cogburn]

Lang said that Forslund hit a dude in the head with a 94 mph fastball. ouch. hope he's OK.

[bradyfan]

Not sure if anyone has posted this but ESPN3 will be there for the championship game.

[BJWilliams]

10-4 Campbell in the 8th

[BJWilliams]

Any thought as to who Campbell goes with tonight Chris? (or tomorrow depending on how the rest of the games shake out)

[Chris Lang]

If it ends up being tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised if they brought Sergey back. He only pitched two innings, and yesterday could be viewed basically as a side session.

FYI to all ... if the game does happen tonight, it won't make the paper tomorrow. But the story will be posted online after the game, whenever that may be.

That seems fair. Any idea who gets the call for us no matter when the game is played? (Id guess Niggli wouldnt come back until Saturday or Friday on an emergency basis on short rest)

[Chris Lang]

Most likely Brooks Roy.

[BJWilliams]

With Kemmerer next win or lose I guess?

[krh44]

Game moved to 11 tomorrow.

[jbock13]

Crap. That's really gonna suck. Not really easy to play 2 games in one day. Especially in, oh I don't know, the conference tournament.

[Chris Lang]

Win, and you don't have to play two in a day.

Campbell was going to have to play two today had this one happened.
