Baseball

The McNeese State Cowboys broke out the brooms at home this weekend. The sweep of Incarnate Word left the Cowboys just two games behind league leader Nicholls State.

The Cowboys are proving to be a force on the diamond this season. They just complete their first Southland Conference sweep of the season.

Usually a new head coach means an adjustment period. By "adjustment period" I mean a losing season or two. The exact opposite is what's happening with Justin Hill and the McNeese Baseball team so far this year.

There are times in a baseball game where the pitcher is almost defenseless and that's immediately after the pitch. Well Daniel Norris of the Lansing Lugnuts came very close to getting the ball back upside the head in this game. But not only did he protect his face from getting hit but he caught thee ball as well...

Major League Baseball is really embracing technology.

If you've seen an opening pitch better than this, please let us know. At Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, rhythmic gymnast* Shin Soo-ji threw this opening pitch.

You see football teams pour Gatorade on the coach after a winning game and there are some other sports the teams have some out of the ordinary fun after winning a game, but the game of baseball is usually all business and you don't see too much funny business...

Yes, Cowboy fans, get ready cause the Cowboys hit the baseball diamond Friday evening for the first game of the season. Cowboys baseball and basketball both going on. How can it get any better?

Did you hear that Major League Baseball added another Wild Card team; and that the two Wild Card teams (in each league) will play each other just one game to decide who moves on in the playoffs? That just adds to the insanity!

In the fourth inning of last Sunday’s Twins and Rangers game, a storm cloud near the Ballpark in Arlington moved in and caused some of the most epic thunder that you will ever hear.

Playing in front of a sold-out hometown crowd on Saturday, Derek Jeter sent his record-setting 3,000th hit deep into left-field, making him the 28th major leaguer and first New York Yankees player to reach the hitting milestone.
