just a head's up, I will NOT be calling the game on Friday afternoon vs. SFA down in Nacogdoches. As you may or may not know by now, I will be just a little busy in Katy Texas still!!!!

The plan is still for me to begin baseball season on Saturday and Sunday!

UCA 3-7-6
SFA 4-10-2

Bears scored 2 in 8th and 9th to tie at 3-3 but could not get runners home in 9th and 10th to win.

Jonathan Houston was 2 for 4 while Pair and Harris each had one RBI...Harris' plated the tying run in the 9th.

Bryan Willson went 5 innings giving up 3 runs on 7 hits with 2 KOs and 2 BBs. Ward priched two scoreless innings wiht 3 KOs and 1 BB. Payne got the loss with 2.1 innings of work but gave up only one hit.

Hard to win with 6 errors .....

2nd year in a row Bears open with a sweep by SFA....off to Stillwater for a 4pm game at Ok State on Tuesday. Bears drop to 8-8/0-3.

Two close losses this weekend, even though we never scored more than 3 runs in a game. Good pitching by SFA or subpar hitting by us? Maybe a little of both. SFA was giving up just 4 per game before the series started. Going down today on a wild pitch in the 10th isn't a great way to lose it.

As '52 pointed out, 6 errors today; but only 1 unearned run. Fortunate in that sense, but unfortunate that one less run could have resulted in a win.

SFA was picked to finish 5th in the conference. Next up is Lamar, picked 3rd, wins over Rice, Cal State-Northridge (2), and sweep of Nicholls this weekend.
