Long Beach: Just Another Day At The Beach

By Lara Boyko - June 02, 2007

With less than an hour before game time, BP is over, the sun out in full force and with the temperature at a warm 70 degrees, you couldn't ask for a better day for a Regional (sorry my fellow CSTV.com bloggers who are experiencing either extreme hot or cold temperatures right now). It's just freakin gorgeous out people and really more of a beach day than a baseball day.

Here are your starting line-ups for 'Do or Die' game one today:

Visitors -- Long Beach State (37-19)

Chris Nelson - CF
Matt Cline - 2B
Shane Peterson - 1B
Jason Corder - DH
Robert Perry - RF
Travis Howell - C
Danny Espinosa - SS
Steve Tinoco - LF
Taylor Krick - 3B

Starting pitcher - Andrew Liebel -- 8-3, 2.83 ERA

No, this is not a typo. The Dirtbags are the visiting team on their own field today.

Home - Pepperdine (35-21)

Adrian Ortiz - CF
Danny Worth - SS
Eric Thames - DH
Donald Brown - RF
Chase d'Arnaud - 3B
Luke Salas - LF
Denny Duron - 2B
Ryan Heroy - 1B
Travis Tartamella - C

Starting pitcher - Robert Dickmann -- 6-4, 3.70 ERA

The loser from this game will go home while the winner will advance to play in tomorrow's first game at 2 p.m.

Stay tuned, I'm off to go work on my tan some more before the first pitch.
