These three Jacks are on fire...

#22 Josh Ibe (Jr.) AVG.0.342

#1 Cemodrick Bland (Fr.) AVG.0.336

#24 Julian Swift (Jr.) AVG.0.315

Loving the aggressive base running from SFA lately, they are currently #2 in the conference with 68 stolen bases.

SFA:6 (17-31; 8-21)
UIW:2 (17-32; 3-26)
Final

Make it three in a row, and the Jacks win their second straight conference series of the season, the hot bats continue to swing with 12 hits producing 6 runs, as SFA takes the series.

Cody Templeton gets the win (6-4) with his 3rd complete game of the season giving up only 2 earned runs and 7 hits, striking out 8 and walking 2.

Bland 2 runs, 2 hits, 2 walks.
Schneider 2 runs, 3 hits, 1 home run
Duran 1 run, 2 hits, 1 home run
Mullins 1 run, 1 hit, 1 RBI, 1 home run

SFA goes for the series sweep in the 2025 finale tomorrow.

Lumberjack baseball appears to be headed the right direction.

The future of SFA baseball is bright. And that's a thought I don't think I've ever had. There's a fight in this team and with this new coach. The next few years of Lumberjack Baseball should be very fun.

One more time this season.

6-4 UIW bottom of the 4th, SFA just got a 2 run RBI off of #3 Ethan Adkisson (Jr.)

SFA:13 (18-31; 9-21)
UIW:12 (17-32; 3-27)
Final

What an end to the season, a season where SFA was picked to finished dead last again, but the Jacks instead prevailed and did one place better, edging out UIW to conclude a season of rebuilding.

This one went back and forth as the pitching struggled for both teams, recording 31 total hits and 25 runs.

It was 13-9 in favor of SFA going into the top of the 9th when UIW mounted a fierce rally scoring 3 runs off of 2 home runs, but Reid Boyett closed it out saving the game for the Jacks 4th straight win, first conference series sweep of the season and finishing 7-3 in the last 10 games.

#3 Ethan Adkisson (Jr.) 1 run, 3 hits, 5 RBI's, 1 walk
#1 Cemodrick Bland (Fr.) 2 runs, 3 hits, 2 RBI's
#17 Mark Henning (Sr.) 3 runs, 3 hits, 1 RBI

What a great way to end the season and to move forward with a team at an all time high in moral, as the new coaching staff gets a full offseason to continue recruiting, and replenishing what is lost or will be lost in the following months.

2011 - Bryson Myles 6th Round; 188th Overall Pick (Cleveland Indians)

Solid move forward. Lots to look forward too.
