4-0 in SLC play after the 6-0 win over HBU.

Through five:

HBU 0/1/1
SFA 1/6/0

Big freshman lefty Jaxon Convington with only 59 pitches.

Good crowd today.

Covington gives up the tying run when he doesn't cover first on a ground ball to the first basemen. Jacks score three in the bottom of the sixth with help from sloppy fielding by HBU. 4-1 after six.

Great for Cardenas. He is just as steady as they come Maybe this year he gets the payoff.

In case you missed it, Sam lost yesterday to UIW 8-2, so SFA is alone in first place.

With our lack of a third starter, today is the day the entire pitching staff goes. Except for Palmer and Covington of course. Gamez went 2.1, one hit ball, for the save, yesterday so not sure if he is available. Stobart gets the start.

Im case you missed the thread at the bottom in the tailgate forum, discussing a get together/tailgate for the Sam series. Let me know if you're interested:

Sunny, 61 degrees, 5-10 mph wind blowing to right field. Sounds like a great day for a sweep

After three, Jacks up 1-0 on a solo shot by Vasquez. Stobart had a rough first, but very efficient next two innings. Only thrown 27 pitches through three.

Through five:

Gamez relieves in the top of the seventh.

Final line on Stobart; 2 hits, 1BB, 5K's, on 61 pitches. He earned another Sunday start.

Rodriquez relieves in the eighth after Gamez gives up a lead off walk and retires the side.

Too exciting top of ninth, but your first place Jacks hold on for the sweep.

SFA 8/8/2
PV 5/9/2

A couple of comments:

  • Prarie View is a bad baseball team. Their pitching is really rough. Their starter did reasonably good. After that though....
  • As I have mentioned elsewhere, SFA has a depth issue. After the starting CF was subbed, six of the nine players have BA's below the Mendoza line. Two of the six are regular starters. Cardenas has said that these mid-week games are the opportunity for guys to show they deserve playing time. Pitching wise, Hearn started and was mediocre. Kubo subbed and was at best mediocre. After them, Adams, Grabowske, and Starks shut PV down.

Jacks go to 12-10 on the season. Big three game series in Conway this weekend.

Tomorrow night is the soft opening for lights at the ballpark. Night games coming back to Nac soon.

Big series starts tonight for the Jacks against UCA.

Hopefully they can keep the momentum rolling in conference play.

7-0 after a 3-1 win. Palmer with the win. Gamez with the save.

Cardenas has his guys giving 100%

Today's game is a match up of 6'3" freshmen lefties. SFA's Covington comes in with a 1.66 ERA, while UCA's Cameron has a 1.91 ERA. The team that plays the best defense and makes the most of limited scoring opportunities takes this one.

Or, I could be completely wrong and Covington could be hit early and often.

Ugly yesterday and today, offense is really struggling this year.

Sam lost one to UNO so we're tied for first at 7-2.

Starting pitchers were ineffective both yesterday and today. Beyond Kubo and Starks today, the bullpen was good. Nine hits today, but not timely with eight LOB. Going to be a long ride home from Conway.

Big home series coming up against SLU. It is early to call it must win, but taking two of three would keep us in the hunt.

"Uhse and Vasquez Notch Two Hits Each Sunday at Central Arkansas"

Vasquez is really hitting lately. Uhse is a freshman that started hot, then went into a bit of a slump. Good to see him hit again.

Campbell in RF is the only real change. Black and Huber alternate at catcher. Expect Huber to start games one and three in the weekend series. Kubo on the mound.

Underway with a terrible start. Single, wild pitch, double, HR. Down 3-0 no outs top one.

Crowd is at least half UH. Lots of scouts in attendance.

Also on pace to give up 27 runs.

Mid week games expose the fact that we have zero depth at pitcher. And, I get to listen to obnoxious UH fans sitting behind us. Disgusted.
SFAJack_76

No depth batting or in the field either. Had a left fielder circle a fly ball and had it drop about eight feet from him. Cardenas has subbed all the usual starters. Looking like a bad high school team.

Many options for the headline. My favorite is "Andy Pettite witnesses debacle at Jaycee Field"

He was there. His son Jared was the starter for UH, and was given the win even though he only pitched 1.2 innings. He had only pitched 1.2 innings coming in, so he obviously was on a low pitch count.

Final line score in 7 innings:

UH 16/16/0
SFA 1/3/1
