SUU wins the series against Western Illinois

Southern Utah opened its Summit League season with a 9-5 win at Western Illinois on Friday. The Thunderbirds trailed throughout most of the game before scoring all nine of their runs during the final two innings to claim the come-from-behind victory. David Headley was called in for a pinch hitter when he dropped a 3 run homerun. The next day SUU played a double header against Western Illinois and came away with two more wins. After proving to be the hero with a three-run ninth inning home run in the series opener, David Headley continued to swing the bat well. David hit another homerun and then added another ground-rule RBI two innings later. He finished the day 4-9 and also Bo Cuthbertson was 4-7 at the plate with two RBI and a run. The final game of the series SUU lost 2-4. It was a tough loss but on the positive note SUU's Justin Neuhart when 2-4.

“I felt like our guys came out strong in the way they were able to get that run in the first inning,” said SUU interim coach Clayton Carson. “I give credit to UNLV and the way they played, they did a good job swinging the bat and hit the ball well.”

Conference starts for SUU starting Friday April 6th against Western Illinois. Good luck SUU and win conference!

Coaches get released from the baseball program

Southern Utah University officials, in a move supported by the University's Board of Trustees, released baseball coaches David Eldredge and Chase Hudson from their coaching responsibilities today. Its a sad day for all of SUU baseball fans because they are losing two great guys. Coach Eldredge was a great coach and they should of let him coach the remainder of the final season at SUU. Some speculations why both coaches got fired were because of going over budget and they way they used school money.  I wish the best for both of these wonderful guys!
