Day two at College Station

By Jack Molitor - June 02, 2007

Another beautiful day in College Station and another day of regional baseball on the way. Game three between the #4 Le Moyne Dolphins and the #3 Ohio State Buckeyes is about 40 minutes away. These two teams were the losers of yestersdays matchups, and now face each other in order to avoid elimination.

Ohio State lost in a heartbreaker yesterday against the Louisiana-Lafayette Cajuns. Jake Hale pitched a brilliant 7.1 innings for the Buckeyes, but Xavier Alexander was the hero for the Cajuns. He nailed a two-out double off of the wall in left-center which scored a runner from first to win the game 5-4 for the Cajuns.

The Dolphins fell to the #1 Texas A&M Aggies in the night game, 7-2. The Dolphins blanked the Aggies in six out of nine innings, but really fell out of contention when two more runs were surrendered in the bottom of the eighth. The Dolphins also weren't able to get going offensively against Aggie lefty David Newmann, who game up one run in 7 innings and struck out nine.

The starters today are Eric Beaulac for Le Moyne and Cory Luebke for OSU. Beaulac is 8-1 with a 2.55 ERA in 14 starts for the Dolphins. Luebke is also 8-1 with a stellar 1.84 ERA in 15 starts for the Buckeyes.

The night game will feature the Cajuns against the Aggies at 7 p.m. central.
