Lions Get Roughed Up in First Loss of Season

Going on the road for the first time this season was not kind to the SLU Lions, as they got roughed up by the Tulane Green Wave 12-1 in New Orleans.  SLU's (7-1) young bullpen gave up 12 runs, 11 of them earned, on 12 hits to a very potent Tulane (8-1) line-up who came into the game hitting .364 as team.  Offensively the Lions could not get going, as they only put up six hits and stranded 11 base runners.

Solid Gold Sunday, Lions Sweep Weekend Series

The SLU Lions wore their solid gold uniforms on Sunday as they looked to sweep the weekend series over Eastern Illinois.  Mission accomplished.  The Lions (7-0) finished off the Panthers (1-4) with a great pitching performance by senior Josh Janway in a 1-0 victory at The Pat.  Janway, who pitched a career high 7.2 innings, allowed only three hits and struck out seven.

The Dominance Continues!

It was not pretty but the statement was clear.  The SLU baseball program does not play second fiddle to ULL in south Louisiana.  For the eighth straight time the Lions defeated their in-state rival, as they capitalized on Ragin Cajun miscues winning 6-5 on Wednesday night at The Pat.  The Lions moved to 4-0 on the season, as ULL drops to 1-3.  The Ragin Cajuns last victory against SLU came on March 5, 2008.
