Headed to Dallas for the Frisco Classic first weekend of March

Not sure when these baseball tournaments have become a thing, but I think it really is great for the sport. Going to be a regional atmosphere, should be a ton of fun. I'll be at a similar event in Houston that weekend. Can't wait!

The game was in hand — well, well in hand — but still, Joe Provenzano looked to the dugout. He wanted to ensure his positioning at second base was correct for this situation: two outs in the ninth inning of a game McNeese State was leading. Cowboys assistant coach Cory Barton assured Provenzano he was fine.


“That just tells me we were playing the whole game and not necessarily the score,” Hill told the American Press on Tuesday. “That was really impressive to me, how our kids did that.”


McNeese throttled UL-Monroe, 32-4, in a midweek baseball game on Tuesday, shattering a litany of program records and sending the Cowboys to 4-0 before they begin four-game series against No. 24 Arizona — the defending national runner-up — Thursday.


Already up 12-2 following three innings of play, the Cowboys scored 15 runs in the fifth inning, though Hill maintained his team kept a stoic demeanor and played as if it wasn’t routing the Warhawks.


“Stats are not something I look at, I watch about how you play the game,” Hill said. “That to me is it — how you continue to take your at-bats, how you continue to go about your business. I thought that was really, really good. I’ve never been a part of a game like that, but we’ve all been in blowouts one way or the other and the dugout can get silly or some guys can kind of lose their approach, things like that. But I didn’t see that. I didn’t see that one bit.”


Ricky Ramirez, Jr. scored six runs on his own — setting a new school record and tying a Southland Conference record. McNeese’s 32 runs are the most scored in the NCAA in this young season.


Though the offense was, obviously, stalwart, McNeese’s pitching staff struck out 13 and limited the Warhawks to nine hits.


Hill, a former UL-Monroe assistant along with Barton, was asked following the game if he felt sympathy for his former employer or if he felt the need to lessen some of the blow as the game got more and more out of hand.


“We’ve all been on the other end of it, but the thing was our kids handled it right,” Hill said. “When they got a hit, they got a hit. When they hit a double, they hit a double. We weren’t stealing bases or anything like that but I’m indebted to these kids and I have to give them their opportunities when they get them. If they hit a two-run single then, by gosh, they deserve the two RBIs. We owe it to them and I think that’s important.”


Here are all the program records McNeese set on Tuesday night:

• Runs in a game (32)
• Runs in an inning (15 in the fifth)
• Hits (29)
• RBI (28)
• Total bases (40)

Different year same story: LSU has 2 stud pitchers, a loaded lineup, and no 3/4 starter or a bull pen.

Arizona begins a 4 game series with McNeese starting tomorrow. I don't know how good UL Monroe is but good lord 32 runs is impressive.

UL-Monroe is an average team that plays in the SunBelt Conference. My Pokes are a very good team but streaky, last year they beat LSU at the Box. Don't know how good of a program Washington St. has but McNeese swept a 3 game series last year against them out on the west coast.

Greg Deichmann's mammoth home run sets tone in LSU's wipeout of Hofstra

• BY LUKE JOHNSON | [email protected]

LSU right fielder Greg Deichmann (7) watches as his home run in the first inning soars 486' over the Intimidator in right field in a game against Hofstra, Wednesday, February 22, 2017, at LSU's Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge, La. LSU center fielder Antoine Duplantis also scored on the play.


Majestic might be too tame a word to describe Greg Deichmann’s home run in the first inning of LSU’s 8-1 win against Hofstra on Wednesday night.

“I couldn’t have hit two balls that far,” senior second baseman Cole Freeman said.

It was the LSU baseball version of the Big Bang.


Deichmann turned an 0-2 meatball from Hofstra left-hander Michael James into one of the most impressive displays of power the new Alex Box Stadium has ever seen.

With the wind blowing from left field to right, Deichmann hit one high and deep and cleared the Intimidator billboard in right field by a healthy margin, landing somewhere beyond the confines of the stadium. The mammoth shot compelled LSU coach Paul Mainieri to channel his inner Crash Davis.

“Anything that travels that far ought to have a flight attendant,” Mainieri said.

The estimated carry of Deichmann’s third home run of the young season, according to LSU’s TrackMan ball tracking system: 486 feet.

“When you hit a ball like that, you really don’t feel it,” Deichmann said. “It’s kind of one of those things that nobody knows how to describe. It’s the best feeling in the world, but there’s no feeling when it comes off the bat.”

Most importantly: It gave LSU (4-1) a lead it never relinquished, thanks to an outstanding overall pitching performance.

The camera couldn't even track the homer. Ye gods, that ball was crushed.

Is Arizona any good this year? I see they're undefeated but am guessing that Eastern Kentucky and McNeese State aren't CWS teams this year.

I guess we'll find out this Sunday

We're ranked between 7-14 in the polls right now. Pitching is a bit of a question mark at the moment but we should have one of the best offenses in the country. I think everyone following the program believes we have a pretty high ceiling. We are coming off a CWS runner up. Looking forward to this weekend.
