Lipscomb baseball was voted pre-season favorites in the ASUN conference for the first time in Lipscomb’s history last year.
Yet things didn’t quite go as planed. Lipscomb finished the season with a 9-12 in-conference record and was 6th in the ASUN standings.
Head Coach Jeff Forehand said that the Bisons are looking to bounce back this year.
“We’re excited to get back together and get another season started,” Forehand said. “Lipscomb has high hopes again, especially after two Bison players (3B Zeke Dodson & DH Jake Perry) received preseason All-ASUN awards.
“There’s so many things we’re looking forward to,” Forehand said. “It’s been a long fall, and a lot of preparation goes into playing, and we put a lot of hard work in. We’re looking forward to doing the things we’ve talked about doing all fall.”
Forehand said the teams has some big, but simple goals for this year.
“First pitch strikes, first batter outs and make the routine plays on defense,” Forehand said. “On offense we’re looking to move runners over and situational hitting. If we can concentrate on what we can control, the opponent doesn’t matter.”
Lipscomb’s first series of the season against UNC Ashville will start at 4 p.m. at Ken Dugan Field tomorrow afternoon.
Projected Weekend Rotation:
- Friday – RHP Joshua Colon (Jr.) LHP Jordan Fulbright
- Saturday – RHP Chris Kachmar (Jr.) LHP Greg Gasparro
- Sunday – LHP Noah Thompson (Fr.) LHP Jordan Carr
After this three-game series, the Bisons will head to Lindsey Nelson Stadium to face the University of Tennessee in Knoxville on Tuesday, Feb. 20 at 2:30 p.m.
