SLU Baseball 2024

[BillTheCat]

20-6 going for not bottom of the 7th.

 Live look into the Leatherneck dugout:

[TheA_Bomb]

This offensive start to the season has got to be one of the SLU best all time right?  Huge.

 

[OkieBilliken]

After SLU was up 18-1, I drove down to the U of Memphis to check out their ballpark.  They have been pretty equal to us in the past several years.  Urban campus, not a lot of space….absolutely spectacular baseball facility.  We could have if we had some competent leadership.  

[JettFlight5]

SLU baseball might outscore the basketball team.

Im hesitant to get hyped but I’m really glad we’re shelling bad teams

[OkieBilliken]

Not as windy today.  SLU scoreless through 2 innings

[OkieBilliken]

That should do it.  Grand slam.  Drew Winters.  12-3 SLU top 9th

[OkieBilliken]

Cole Smith another grand slam in the Top 9…17-3

Good Lord, we are crushing the ball every game

[OkieBilliken]

Closer game today.   SLU overcame 3-1 deficit in the 6th.  They blew it open in the 9th.  Tommy Ray struck out 8 before tiring.  Dude is going to be a stud starter.

Tommy Ray is from my high school and hometown, Quincy Notre Dame, up river in Quincy, same high school as SLU Soccer players Seth and Tanner Anderson. It’s great to see our QND Raiders doing well as SLU Billikens.

Weird thing I noticed is that SLU’s games with WIU are not listed on ESPN’s college baseball scoreboard and the A-10 scoreboard shows no results for either game. How does that happen?

Best I can tell on my phone they only have games with a P5 program or ranked team involved mentioned on ESPN… A-10 site I think is just slow.  D1 baseball website is up to speed… their time of year to shine.

[BillTheCat]

Gonna give small props to the WIU coach from yesterday… he kept their pitchers to a pitch count and stuck to it even when they were doing well… probably knowing the guys on the back end would get shelled.

Keeping them healthy for the long haul.

[OkieBilliken]

SLU scoreless through two.  Wind blowing in hard.  Tyler Fogarty just had a possible homerun knocked down in the wind.   Low scoring game today might be possible.  Charlie Weber already has 3 Ks for SLU and looks good at the start

[OkieBilliken]

Weber got shelled in the 3rd, gives up 4 runs, although the scoreboard says 3.   Strange double play to end the inning 4-1 WIU in the 4th

[OkieBilliken]

SLU offense silent today, trailing 4-1 through 5 

[OkieBilliken]

Drew Winters hits dramatic grand slam.  7-5 SLU.   9th inning

[OkieBilliken]

WIU loads the bases in the 9th but SLU wins 8-5!   7-0 BABY!!!!   We obviously aren’t great but this team is gritty as hell.   Several key hits all weekend.  Go see them play if you can.  They are a blast to watch!!!!

On the schedule is what I meant.

[BillTheCat]

SLU #1 in the country with 104 runs scored after 7 games… tied with Texas Tech who has played 8 games.

[cgeldmacher]

This seems to be one of those teams that is never really out of a game with their ability to score runs.

[Pistol]

Some of these rankings are ties with other schools, but still pretty impressive.

[Cowboy II]

-I like scoring a bunch without it having to be the result of a home run
