Ferrum was starting to get votes for the top 25 do you think todays lost (17-5) to HSC will hurt them in next weeks poll?

Not sure BUT Ferrum still remains in 1st place in the USA-South.

not a bad line for manfro - it's interesting that he went 9 against an out of region team on a tuesday with a conference weekend coming up...is this a sign that he's lost a weekend starting gig? i thought he should have been closing after seeing him throw last year...he was really good early, but appeared to tire and got hit hard...his stuff was nasty for 2-3 innings, though

the monarchs have a big regional test today vs. rhodes...the lynx are 12-6 with some pretty nice wins - i'll be interested to see who is on the mound for mu...willingham pitched well vs. vwc in a mid-week regional match up last week, perhaps he'll get the ball today

[cnuball25]

Maybe Greensboro was desperate for the win...who knows? At 6-13 it looks like they needed a sweep. Regardless of how bad Arcadia is, a no-hitter is impressive at any level...congrats to the kid.

And after looking back at the scores, I'm seriously upset to see I wasn't on here the day Averett knocked off the Roaring Lions of Penn State-Fayette...I had some good material for that too:)

[vabaseball]

It's never too late for good material....

[Boysofsummer21]

I agree good material is always welcome. Anyone know if Arcadia U has a baseball team? Wow watched Averett on live stats today and it was brutal.

tough loss for mu to a good rhodes team...they play a lot like the monarchs do...lots of small ball, hit and run, making the defense work...offensively they make a pitcher throw a lot of pitches and they got a number of two strike hits - willingham looked really solid, at times...he's got solid stuff and should be a good one going forward for mu - the monarchs banged out 10 hits, but only scored one run due to a couple of baserunning gaffs - ferrum this weekend...huge series

Ferrum's weekday pitchers give up 36 runs in two games-ouch!  They'll need a little more depth come tournament time.

Is  there a better story anywhere than Jeff Taylor, Jr. having a great senior year for Lynchburg (who put 19 of those runs on Ferrum)?   A wonderful young man whose dad was tragically killed last spring, struck by a line drive while throwing BP. Jeff's dad was a good friend to many who post on here, a huge baseball fan, a devout Christian, a prolific e-mailer, and a Professor in the Sports Medicine Program at Liberty. He was close to finishing the work for his doctorate when he died and it was presented to his family. Jeff, Jr. is just tearing it up this spring-a recent mini-slump "dropped" his average to the low .400's.   

[vabaseball]

That's a nice tribute to the Jeff Taylors.  Can you refresh my memory on what "AG" stands for? 

[hokieone]

In the years that I knew Jeff, I honestly never knew and never asked. It seems like  I found out shortly after he passed away but my feeble brain isn't coming up with it. Maybe some of the other folks will know. Jeff regularly, and I  mean daily, e-mailed a boatload of dads about their sons. I still have saved on my phone the last two text messages I got from him, congratulating my son on a good game at CNU.   He sure was a great guy.

Must sweep for NCWC this weekend vs. Greensboro.  I expect to see Max Knowles and Andrew Webb going for us on the mound.
