If u look at the 3 game series we are only competitive in the first game.  The same can be said for last year too.  Clearly, there's a coaching issue or maybe more so a recruiting issue.  Doesn't appear that the roster has D1 talent.

Today at Toledo loss 19 - 6. Pitching a continuing problem.  Used 10 pitchers in 8 innings. Gave up 13 hits, 10 walks, 5 hit batters, and 2 errors.

Weekend update on 3 game weekend series against Northern Kentucky who leads the Horizon League. Lost all three games, but at least the scores were not terrible.

Game 1 on Thursday not using our top pitcher, Jacob Gehring, losing 4 - 2. Northern Kentucky has 6 hits, 8 walks, and no hit batters. We had the same 6 hits, with 1 walk and 1 hit batter.

Game 2 on Friday lose 8 - 7 in 10 innings.  Jacob Gehring starts and at one point we lead 6 - 3. After he is gone, pitching again fails us and they get 11 hits, 8 walks, and 3 hit batters.

Game 3 on Friday lose 8 - 4. They have 9 hits, 10 walks, no hit batters, to go along with 3 errors by us. We had 8 hits and 1 walk.

Pitching is really hurting us among other issues of defense and lack of hitting.

I don't think anyone saw this coming. YSU Baseball has won four games in the Horizon League tournament and they have advanced to Championship Saturday. YSU will need to win two games tomorrow vs. Northern Kentucky to win the Horizon League Championship! YSU knocked out the #1 seed Wright State Raiders tonight 6-3, a team they lost all seven previous games against this season.

Congratulations to these guys on pulling together this Cinderella run. Hopefully they got enough magic left tomorrow to win it all!

Go Guins!!!!

Our catcher was thrown out of the first game for using tobacco products. He was forced to sit out game 2 due to being ejected in game 1! Anyone know what he did and how he was caught? Manager ejected from game 1, but managed game 2.

Perez was the star of the win yesterday and today pitched 2 1/3 innings to finish today's 2nd game. Great performance by our senior pitcher.

Probably Chewing Tabacco is my best guess

In conference only games we finished last in hitting and fielding and next to last in pitching. Yet this team has reached the championship round, something that Calhoun's basketball players never came close to achieving. Go figure.

What makes today an insurmountable challenge is the fact that Northern Kentucky, 2nd seeded and staying in the winner's bracket, has only played two games. We have endured five games in three days. The pitchers have given an heroic effort, but we now have very little available.

Nevertheless, at a time when college sports are again being polluted by big money, we can all be very proud of the "old college try" that these guys have performed this week.

You might recall we did this not too long ago; I think it was 2014. made the NCAA Division I baseball tournament. We also won the regular season HL once or twice but were not selected to the NCAA tournament. We really can only get in the NCAA's by winning the HL tourney. If we could win at least one series against a power conference team and go at least .500 against the rest of the power teams on our schedule, we would stand a good chance to get selected to the NCAA's without winning the HL Tourney.

We are in the loser's bracket, so we will have to win twice today. I do think the NCAA makes pitching allowances for tournaments. Does not mean there is "anything left in the guy's arm though".

Well, it’s over. Seven run fourth inning the Norris are completely in command. 8-2

Pathetic effort by the bullpen! No support for the starter at all!

Pathetic effort by the bullpen! No support for the starter at all!

In their defense, they already had to pitch quite a bit the past few games just to get us to this point.

A record of 16-44 and a lot of money spent.  I think a new voice is in order.

I agree Campbell should be let go.

[YsuPride]

I only follow Men's basketball and football but what a mess the baseball program is becoming under Campbell.     Wouldn't you all agree?
