Another tough weekend for the Buffs. Dropped 3 of 4 to St. Eds. Except for another great performance by Jack Egan, pitching was pathetic. He won 2-0. In the 3 losses, Buffs pitching gave up 40 runs on 45 hits including 4 HRs, 3 triples and 8 doubles. Big innings were a nemesis again much like they were against TAMUK. Buffs are 2nd seed and host first round of LSC tourney starting Friday against the 7th seed; not sure who that is yet but probably St. Mary's. It's a best 2 out of 3 format. Not good for the Buffs when only one pitcher has performed well recently. You can't sugarcoat it. But we'll hope for a better showing. Go Buffs!

Did Angelo win the LSC Championship??

So if Buffs are 2nd seed, they must of gad great pitching during the year to finish so high. If so, what has changed?

I don't really follow baseball....but, did WT suffer injuries or something? I see they dropped 4 of their last 5 games, the latest a 11-14 loss to St.Edward's at home.

Any info??

Javleinas take 3 of 4 against the Buffs this last weekend.

No shame in that on the road but looks like that make their chances super slim winning the LSC regular conference title. Should be a fun LSC tournament.

Great weekend for WT. The Buffs took 3 of 4 from ASU. A split would have been good against them. Game 1 was a pitchers duel that Buffs won 2-0. They hit 7 HRs over the next 3 games. These guys can hit the baseball. Buffs are in 1st place in LSC at 28-8. Face TAMUI at home Thursday, Friday & Saturday.

Right you are. Divided by 3 not 4. Still not good average.

The Buffs are allowing 4.97 runs per game (not ERA, but total runs allowed avg.), so it's not really too far off the mark.

LCU is averaging 8 runs scored per game, so you kept under their average.

WT split with LCU this past weekend leaving the Buffs tied for first in LSC with ASU. Both are 25-7. Pitching, especially relief, is still a major concern. While the Buffs scored 26 runs and had 39 hits in the 4 game series, they gave up 22 runs and 43 hits. That's more than 7 runs and nearly 11 hits per game. The Buffs are a good hitting team and can score a lot of runs, but the hitters need some help. WT travels to ASU this weekend. If pitching doesn't improve, it might be a tough road trip.

Were you a Math Major at WT? :-) 22 divided by 4 is 5.50. That is less than 7 runs per game.

No doubt about it. Toughest part of schedule is coming up. It will be a challenge for the Buffs as well as the other front runners.

Buffs haven't really played much of anyone yet. They will be facing the better teams now. We will see how good they are. Can they prove themselves?? We'll see.
