Oh by the way, despite the excitement in the football thread there is a game today. I am excited to see how the team performs with the new coach. It would be nice to start off with a win against the hoos.

Anyone know who is starting on the mound for LU ?

[LUDad]

Certainly changes the dynamics of the game by having DeGrout in the bullpen. A few days ago I was certain that he would start as our ace. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea. Do what it takes to get to the 7th, 8th or 9th inning with a lead and then bring in a shutdown pitcher. We lost a lot of games last year in the late innings.

starting lineups are posted on baseball team page on the live feed.

[krh44]

Not the start we were hoping for....UVa score 4 in the first.

Grabowski battered for 9 runs 7 earned. Color me shocked.

Starting pitching : my biggest concern

Grabowski battered for 9 runs 7 earned. Color me shocked.

10-1 now in the 6th

[LUnpretty11]

Boat. Raced.

[krh44]

10-2 the final. Lets hope for a better game on Saturday

[jinxy]

Is yacyk injured? If he's not its flat stupid that he isn't in the lineup.

[LUDad]

Not playing this weekend due to shoulder injury...

[LUDad]

Grabowski battered for 9 runs 7 earned. Color me shocked.

I would not be surprised if the pitching was stacked so as to give Liberty the best opportunity to leave this weekend with two wins. It's what I would have done.

[jinxy]

Well if we had evan mitchell and degroat paired with bertsch i would feel better. I just dont have much confidence in grabowski and evans from last year and years past.

[Chippy]

We'll know more about this at the end of the day! But I agree. Grabowski and Evans have been batting practice pitchers forethe opponents in the past. Though I did watch a scrimmage and Evans was actually throwing strikes and had good velocity on the fastball.

Flames lead 4-1 against Kansas in the 8th

[Sparky Shuffler]

Flames win 6-1. A nice bounce-back win after an ugly game yesterday. Solid pitching and 0 errors today.

[flamesfilmguy]

much like their football team Kansas baseball is not exactly the cream of the college baseball crop.

[jinxy]

Yep. Kansas is a weak squad and the citadel is a slighlty better program. 2 and 1 would be the expected outcome this weekend.

Anybody hearing anything on the severity of yacyks shoulder or who we might be looking at for mid week starts. I would think mitchell or clouse but ive been totally wrong on the pitching staff so far.

[Sly Fox]

Even a poor Big XII squad is still an impressive victory. So I don't wat to discount the victory at this stage of the season.

[Sparky Shuffler]

1-0 Liberty through 2 innings. Locklear commits an error after hitting his first collegiate home run, but Bertsch works out of the jam after having runners on 1st and 3rd and 1 out.

[krh44]

Up 4-1 in the 4th - Cam Locklear 2hr so far

[jinxy]

8 to 1 and mitchell is cruising after escaping a jam earlier. Still think he ends up starting for us.

[LUDad]

15 K's today. Really impressive.
