I watched some of the Lamar game in the fog bank. Crazy. I watched a little of the McNeese game, too. There was fog in that one, too, but not as bad as in Beaumont.

UTRGV is "the only game in town" down there in the valley, and they do it right. Fireworks, little kids playing on the side (like at the slopes of Homer Bryce). Lots of sponsors. They love baseball down there.


Pan American University was a baseball powerhouse in the '70's. Multiple NCAA appearances including a 2-2 record in the 1971 College World Series.



My dad pitched for Pan American back then and played in the World Series.. People in the Valley love badeball..

I did not know that. I may have seen him pitch when they played in regionals in Arlington.

    Wow, let's say average cost $8.00 a ticket, I know there are season ticket holders, mini pack prices, students are free, etc. but just average cost, that would be about $100K weekend alone on ticket sells, unless it's just a majority of students.

    The Demons remain perfect at 4-0 with a thrilling rally against Louisiana-Monroe.

    After being down 8-3 in the bottom of the 7th, Northwestern State scores 10 (4 in the bottom of the 7th, and and 6 in the bottom of the 8th to win it 13-10.)

    SFA and Northwestern State are the only SLC teams still undefeated.

    Another record crowd for the Vaqueros down in the valley 6,588 watched UTRGV take on Texas Tech, losing 12-21.

    UTRGV took a quick 8-2 lead in the bottom of the 1st until the Red Raiders poured it on in the top of the 3rd with a 7 run inning. They would go on to score in every inning but one.

    They beat Georgia Southern last night 25-1.

    What a lineup they have.

    Pointing out that the six pitchers that shared in the no hitter had not thrown a pitch this season before this game. Definitely weak competition, but still implies that there are a lot of arms to chose from.

    The Lumberjacks are in Pine Bluff, Arkansas for a 4-game series against the Golden Lions of Arkansas PB from the SWAC, a team that is 2-2 after a split with Lindenwood in their first series of 2026.

    This will be the 15th all-time meeting in the series with UAPB, with SFA holding a 12-2 record, and winners of the last 9 meetings. Last season SFA swept the Golden Lions in a hard fought series at Pilgrim's Park 6-5; 7-6; 13-6; and 13-3 in 8 innings.

    Projected starters for the series

    UAPB pitching ace and 1st Team All-SWAC preseason RHP #26 Kenny Fabian, the 6-0; 180 pound senior out of Choctaw, Oklahoma with a 5.40 ERA, 4 K, 2 walks, .300 batting average against, 6 hits, 3 runs in 5 innings pitched.

    SFA pitching ace LHP #16 Cody Templeton 1.80 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 8 K's, no walks, .286 BAA, 6 hits, 1 ER.

    As a pitching staff the Jacks have 63 K's against only 9 Walks, allowing only 7 earned runs (no HR) so far in 2026.

    UAPB starting lineup is currently batting as a whole .188, recording 24 hits over 4 games. Despite the low team average, Joe Adams (.444) and Blake Coleman (.333) are significantly boosting the cumulative total.

    SFA current lineup is batting .450

    • Baserunning: SFA remains aggressive on the paths, led by Cermodrick Bland and Cooper Schneider, who have both already recorded 5 stolen bases this season.
    Here's to a good series and more tuning up.

    I guess Coby DeJesus is injured?

    He started the first game at SS and has not been seen since, not even as a PH. Had a great game too, with 3 hits (a double), a run and 2 RBI's.

    And the JUCO All-American Gavin Shaddix?

    I've seen him in the pictures and the dugout, so maybe they are redshirting him for next season or he is injured as well?

    This team is deep.
