.@ArmyWP_Baseball took the opener, 1-0, behind a complete game shutout from Justin Lehman. The junior has been fantastic this year — across 51 2/3 innings, he has a 1.39 ERA and has turned in five starts of six-plus innings.
It is an absolute log jam in the Sun Belt. Just four games separate the teams tied for second from 11th. To make things even more exciting, the top four teams are all playing each other this weekend: • Leader @RaginCajunsBSB vs. Southern Miss • Coastal Carolina vs. Troy
Big-time West Coast series between two teams separated by a game in the standings: @USDbaseball & @ZagBaseball. San Diego has won five straight & is 11-2 in April. Gonzaga shook off tough non-conf results and have won all five WCC series.
First place is on the line in MAAC: @RiderUBaseball is 8-0 at home and hosts @NiagaraBASE as both teams sit at 11-1 in conference play. Battle of slugging 1Bs: Niagara's Eric Rataczak is slashing .423/.512/.723 w/ 10 HRs while Rider's Luke Lesch has 13 2Bs & .906 OPS.
Army hosts @NavyBaseball in a series with massive Patriot League reg. season title implications — beyond the rivalry aspect. Black Knights lead by winning percentage (12-6, .667) as Midshipmen (14-8) have played four more games. The teams split a DH back on March 24.

Spare a thought for Josh Holliday, whose life would've been so much easier if his nephews were just, like, half of a percentage point worse at baseball
@fridaystarters @PortlandBSB @WCCsports I still love & admire the work you all do, but it makes me downright happy that you use & promote game score. Keep fighting the good fight!
Today feels like a good day to announce the Midseason Watch List 👀
Great graphic. These guys are awesome.
Trying to catch up after Easter Weekend? Here's a series-by-series, game-by-game look at the results and top performers throughout the D1 rankings. 🔗 fridaystarters.com/arkansas-baseb…
Leiter talked on @SundayGolds last week about the importance of leveraging counts (2 strikes before the hitter gets to 2 balls). He got in 15 leveraged counts in 17 opportunities tonight. Those 15 lvg. counts resulted in 12 strikeouts, two walks, and a single.
Final line on Cam Leiter: 5.2 IP, 5 H, 3 BB, 12 K, 3 R (2 ER), and 89 pitches Did a much better job of getting in leveraged counts today. When he's ahead in counts and in the zone, he'll generate whiffs consistently like he did today.
🔜 𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐒 𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 Tomorrow, in partnership with @643charts, we will be releasing the first Diamond Sports Rankings of the 2024 season. Learn more about the new ranking system so you know what to expect tomorrow morning: 🔗 d1ba.se/dsr-blog

Great stuff…..the data is hard to imagine but the game is now producing more home runs than in the height of the -5 bats with 2 3/4 barrel 😳🤯
@ChrisBurke02 Well on our way to another year of prolific home run numbers and the weather isn't even warm yet! Still fascinating how much of an impact changes (BESR, BBCOR, flat-seam ball, etc.) have had on the scoring/HR environment.
@fridaystarters THIS is the information I've been hoping to get for a while now. I had done a google sheet and some schools entered their info, many did not! THANK YOU!!
