Dirtbags Update

Sorry for the lack of content recently, folks. 

The lead-up to Spring Break was a busy one but with the mid-terms and papers behind me (for now) let's get back to the important stuff.

We are just under way at Blair today with the second of three games between LBSU and UNLV. 

Long Beach (8-12) won the opener 7-4 behind strong pitching from Adam Wilk and the small ball style Weathers promised to employ before the season.

The Dirtbags are looking for their first series win of the year.

On Tuesday, LBSU fell to the University of San Diego 12-5.

Last weekend the Dirtbags lost two of three at Wichita State. They won the opener 6-4 but dropped the next two 7-5 and 6-1.

News and Notes

- Head coach Mike Weathers continues to serve his three-game suspension for his tirade during a 12-6 win two weeks ago against LMU. Weathers was scheduled to be back for tomorrow's game but the ban was extended an extra game since he was in the ballpark Tuesday at San Diego.

- Pitching Coach Doc Strauss has been handling managerial duties in Weathers absence.

- Junior Steve Tinoco, who has been red hot since early March, has missed the last three games with a strained hamstring.
