I love baseball, but….. why don't we save some athletic budget money. Drop baseball. Add men's tennis. Fewer scholarships. Fewer travel dollars Less equipment. And we have tennis facilities that are at least , ok. Add $500,000 ,to expand the locker room and boom. Probably at least marginally competitive

18-9 on a fielder's choice runner thrown out at 2nd

Makes you wonder why they even brought baseball back in 2005.

Walk, bases loaded up again 1 out.

19-9 runner scores on a single.

Ballgame

HCU:19 (4-4)
SFA:9 (3-6)
Final

Wow...agree on men's tennis or swap it with men's soccer? Soccer is huge in Dallas and down here in Houston, too. It's a growing sport in the US. Heck, trade baseball for swimming even.

I've always wondered.

The guys I went to SFA with in the early 2010s said they were promised an oncampus stadium was in the works.

Have to agree that baseball at SFA seems to be nothing but an afterthought. Very hard to compete in recruiting when so many schools have an actual ballpark on or by campus. I don't believe SFA has ever seriously given baseball it's due. It's just kind of "there".
Don't see it going away though with the recently announced partnership with Pilgrims. Of course it's good to partner up with local business and the community but beyond the field now called Pilgrim's Park, I don't see that helping recruiting much and that is what building a team is all about.

Of course we will have a new AD coming on in the near future. He/she will have their own ideas and plans and will want to guide SFA athletics along those lines. I fear though that all that will happen with baseball is Cardenas will be given a pink slip and sent on his way. From all appearances, Cardenas has done what he can with what he is given to work with over the years. I suppose a new face could bring some success but seems unlikely given where baseball ranks on athletic list of importance.

I'm not much for soccer myself but it is growing here in U.S. The local Austin FC seems highly popular and well supported.

Note to Pilotgirl---notice I said he/she for next AD!!!

I don't think we have the swimming facilities. Soccer would be great, but would prefer a spring sport.

SFA:2 (3-7)
ULM:13 (5-4)
Final

Colton Griffin with 1 run, 1 hit, 1 double, 2 walks, and 2 stolen bases.
Tom Biggs 1 hit, 1 double, and 2 RBI's

The Jacks will look to end their 6-game losing streak on the road in sunny California for a 4-game series against a very good UC-San Diego (5-3) team in La Jolia.

The Tritons, in only their 4th season of division I competition are coming off a 34-18 2023 campaign which ended in a 7-game win streak with wins over Michigan, UNLV, and BYU.

This season UCSD has a series sweep over San Jose State, and a split DH with Missouri.

All three of the Tritons' losses have been by 1 run, and two of those games went to extra innings.

SFA down 1-5 in the bottom of the 7th.

Another pretty solid pitching performance by the Jacks pitching with 5 scoreless innings, Elian Balmaceda gives up 5 earned runs off of 6 hits, 5 K's, and 2 walks.

8 K's in total from the pitching staff in this one.

The bats for SFA have been quite, Cole Hill with the lone run on a RBI from Nolan Brown.

The Tritons pitching has been off the charts with 12 K's combined from two pitchers.

Wheels come completely off as UCSD scores 11 runs total in the 7th and 8th.

16 runs (4 HR's) off of 17 hits.

The are actually going to play the 9th inning, but I'm calling it.

SFA:1 (3-10)
UCSD:16 (8-3)
Final

Frustrated. Why bother. Only vaguely resemble a D1 team.

It will be interesting to see what the new AD thinks about our baseball program, or the lack there of.

SFA (3-10) 9-straight losses and Utah Tech (1-10) 8-straight losses are in the battle for the first over all pick in next year's draft.

No disrespect to our athletes or our coach, bc if SFA was competing in a paint drying contest I'd be pulling for us.

But I'd rather see us compete in other sports that wouldn't take a several million dollar outlay just to have a stadium on par with D1.

Last game out in the palm trees this weekend 😎
