SUU gets sweeped by Texas Pan-American

This weekend the SUU baseball team played great but the final scores didnt show how great they truely did. The first game Kelsey Outram had a strong outing, he  gave up just four hits while striking out five through six scoreless innings. He pitched all 9 innings only giving up one run. SUU's bats didnt show up that game with a final score of them losing 1-0.  They were suppose to play a double header on Saturday and the two games were rained out and moved to Sunday. The first game SUU was up 5 to 1 at the end of the 5th inning but there pitching started to struggle while Texas-Pan American's bats became hot.  Texas scored 9 runs all together in the 6th,7th, and 8th while SUU was held to zero runs. the final score was 10 to 5. In the third and final game, Chase Rezac pitched well throwing 6 innings and giving up zero runs. They lost the game 5 to 6 but SUU's bats started to come alive. Tyson Weber and Bryson Kenolio hit the teams first homeruns. Southern Utah continues its travel this week with a visit to Hawai'i Pacific. The Thunderbirds will face teh Sea Warriors in a four-game series set to begin Thursday at 9pm (MST)

SUUs baseball weekend vs St. Marys

The SUU Thunderbirds baseball team fought hard this weekend but got swept by St. Marys. Feb 17th
opened the season with a 2-1 defeat. Although it was a tough lost there are some positives that happened during the game. Junior pitchre Kelsey Outram allowed just two runs while recording three strikeouts, but was outdueled by Gaels ace Martin Agosta. On Saturday the SUU baseball team struggled though losing 9-2. Although being down two games in the best of 3 series, SUU fought hard the last game and showed a lot of positives that will be carried onto the rest of the year. The last game was in extra innings and the we lost 2-1. I didnt play this series but I am hopefully back soon.

Opening day for the T birds

The Southern Utah University baseball team opens its 2012 season this weekend with a visit to Moraga, Calif. for a three-game series with the Saint Mary’s Gaels. We need to do good this time and put up some wins because  the  Gaels swept the series over us on our home field last season. First pitch is for this weekend is set for Friday at 3 p.m. (MST) at Louis Guisto Field. I wont be able to play today because I am still recovering from surgery but I am hoping I dont miss anymore games!!

The baseball season is almost here and the Polls came out

2012 Summit League Baseball Preseason Poll
         Team                       Points (1st)
   1.   Oral Roberts                 36 (6)
   2.   Western Illinois             27
   3.   South Dakota State       25
   4.   North Dakota State       21
   5.   Southern Utah              19 (1)
   6.   Oakland                       11
   7.   IPFW                            8

So the polls came out for the 2012 baseball season and we are picked to finish 5th place but a thing I thought was interesting was that we received a first place vote.  I believe teams will overlook us this year and I think we will do alot of surprising. I think we have the team to take first this year and I am excited for the season to start. Our first game is against St. Marys on Friday! Lets get a win to start the year off right
