Inside Lions Baseball wishes you a Merry Christmas!

Opening weekend is February 17-19 at The Pat, as the Lions take on Indiana State.  All three games are set to begin at 1pm.

Three Lions Earn Degrees

Saturday was a big day off of the diamond for the Lion baseball family, as three members earned degrees at the 2011 Fall commencement excercises. 

Joseph Koon, a RHP from Saltillo, MS, earned a bachelor's degree in General Studies.  Mitchell Haynes, who played SS for the Lions from 2007-08, earned a bachelor's degree in Business Administration.  Earning his master's degree in Health & Kinesiology was Matthew Schexnayder, who was the Lions catcher from 2007-08.

Congrats to Joseph, Mitchell, and Matt! 

SLU Alumni Baseball Game

The annual Alumni game, which pits the SLU baseball alum against the 2012 Lions, will be held on Saturday February 4 at "The Pat".  First pitch is scheduled for 1pm.

For those former players interested in playing in the alumni game contact Cole Catalano at cole.catalano@yahoo.com.  If you do not want to participate in the game but would like to take batting practice on the field, BP will start at noon.  And don't forget about the annual Pre-Season banquet which will be held on Friday night at Twelve Oaks on the Southeastern campus.  Coach Artigues is looking for a great alumni turnout.
