I followed the game today on CNU's live game tracker. Hampden Sydney defeated CNU today 8-5. Game was called after 8 innings. Johnny West pitched 4 innings of 2 hit ball. Alan Appling had a 3 run double in the 5th and Zach Harrleson added 3 hits. Parker Neal had 2 hits for CNU. I'm sure Hokie1 will fill in the blanks on the USA board.

Boy do we miss A.G. and his insight to Lynchburg and ODAC baseball. We are pulling for you Jeff!

Congratulation to Randolph Macon on their victory in the ODAC championship game. They walked thrugh the series with four consecutive victories. Also congrats to the Hornets on a very succesfull season. I hope they recieve an at large bid.

A. G. This season looks similar to the Tigers 04 run to the World Series. They won four games in a row and beat Lynchburg in the championship game. If anyone takes RMC lightly they could pay the price.

Good luck to you and Jeff. I'll keep an eye on you guys.

H-SC starters haven't pitched a decent game in the past 2 weeks...they can't field...They have one of the slowest outfields in the league..... probably worst in the league with fewest rbi's with runners in scoring position.... they are real fortunate to be the 6th seed......A.G..are you nervous yet .

Go Tigers

A.G.... Since H-SC split with Roanoke they both ended up with a 8-10 conference record.....Do you know what the criteria is to determine who will be the number 6 seed?

A.G....Hopefully Mr. Turner and the boys who sit up late at night trying figure this thing out are taken notice. The Hornets open up with two 1 run loses to D2 Limestone and then follow that up with a loss to NCW to start your season at 0-3. Your boys have gone 26-6 since that start. With two wins over 24-7 Alvernia, 2-1 against 23-12-1 Methodist, 1-1 against 24-11-1 NCW they should take notice. Your conference split against 21-12-1 VWC and 19-12 Randy-Mac shouldn't hurt. After all the Yellow Jackets took two from Rowan and just recently beat CNU and VWC handed Salisbury their only loss.

Go ODAC

H-S Tigers spilt with EM yesterday  ...Hadra pitched another complete game as the Tigers took game one 8-1. They dropped game two 8-7 when the lost a 6 -1 lead after they gave up a grand slam in the 6th and a 3 run shot in the 7th. Both homers came after 2 out errors to extend the innings. Big game with W&L this Wed...Win and they can split with Roanoke to qualify for the tourney...lose and they have to take 2 from the Maroons.

A.G.....The Hornets took the Tigers out of the game real quick with 5 in the 1st three innings and never look back with a 8-3 victory. Jeff Taylor had another fine day with 3 hits. Soph Nick Price had 2 hits for the Tigers. Looks like Lynchburg is the real deal this year.

The Tigers took two from Ferrum yesterday, 9-0 & 5-3. In game one Soph John West followed his 7 inning 1 run peformance against CNU with a complete game 8 hit shut out. Todd Harrell continued his hot streak with 2 hits & 3 rbi's. Fr Zach Harrelson add 3 hits and 3 rbi's. In game two Fr Adam Hodges pick up his 1st collegiate win with a 5 hit peformance. David Toney doubled in a run in the 1st inning and then hit a 3 run jack to give the Tigers a 4-2 lead in the 5th. Toneys homer was his 7th for the year. Zach Harrelson up his BA to 346 with 2 more hits. The Tigers improved their record to 15-19 and will play Lynchburg this Tuesday. Testosterone levels will be off the chart. 

Methodist 4 H-S Tigers 2. Methodist broke a 2-2 tie with 2 runs in the 9th. Both runs were scored after 2 outs. Looks like Bailey has found his stuff and really pitched well of late. He went 5 innings and gave up 2 unearned runs. With no conference games this weekend it looks like Kinne really went after the win bringing in Hadra in the 6th. I know Narch and myself would like to see the tigers win out from here.

Lynchburg 9
H-S Tigers 0 Final....I was told it was ugly...I'll let A.G. beat on his chest.

mm77...whats the deal with Breedlove going 8 innings? A 15 hitter...great confidence builder! Are all the young arms sore?

The Tigers won their 4th and 5th consecutive conference game and evened their conference record at 5-5 with a 5-2 and 15-6 victory over Emory & Henry. In game one Daniel Hadra pitched his 5th complete game of the year. Todd Harrell went 7-10 on the day with 3 doubles and a 3 run shot in the game two. D Prieto and H Toledano added 4 hits each. Robbie Bailey up his record to 5-3 with a 7 inning performance in game two.

H-SC 8 CNU 4.....Toney hit # 6...my man soph righty J West went 7 innings, 1 run 6 K's...I hope Kinne sticks with Swiney in LF....that is his place...he is the only legit lead off hitter that will go deep in the count and will start hitting if the coach will stay with him and finally Preito ( 2 hits) is starting to come around since Kinne quit playing musical chairs. Another good outing by Soph Price in CF. With E&H coming up this weekend the Tigers should have a good shot at getting rid of good game...bad game...good game...bad game.

NCW took a little exception to their 3-0 shut out loss at home two weeks ago by thumping the Tigers 11-3 today at Yank Bernier field. Matt Smith went 4-5 and Pecora had 3 hits and 4 rbi's for Wesleyan. Sr ss T Harrell and fr Harrelson had 2 hit each for the Tigers. Catcher David Toney hit his 5th homer for the year.

Do you know why H-SC pulled their first pitcher, was it pitch count?

I did not attend the game...I have a couple of parents that I talk to after each game to get a feel for what happen. It was apparent to them the Bishops wanted it real bad...they really played with a lot of emotion. Hodges is a freshman who has had some good outings in short situations but hasn't pitched a whole lot. Before this game he had 2 starts, 3 relief appearance for a total of 7 innings...He went 5 today so I would say it may have been pitch count, but Wesleyan did hit him hard in the 3rd and 5th. He's a freshman, pitching againts one of the top D3 college teams and add the fact you guys were obviously on a mission...he may have had a good outing......I hear a lot of good things about the kid...maybe mm77 could share some thoughts on what occured.

Hadra was big.....Complete game 2 hitter with 8 K's...Guilford can really hit the ball and he shut them down.....this was big and then to come back from 2 down heading into the 8th and win with 2 in the 9th...5-4...thats big also....I'm not sure they make the tournament unless they win both games. Good to see sr 3rd baseman Daniel Prieto find his stroke and the kid Rodriguez hit a shot in the 6th and a triple that tied the game in the 9th and scored the winning run on Harrells single.

NCW on Monday....CNU on Thursday and E&H Saturday.
