Welcome

Welcome to Dirtbags Baseball blog! I was introduced to Long Beach State baseball in 2002 when my nephew, Neil Jamison, joined the team (and university) as a freshman. I started the blog in March of 2004, and generally discuss the team, current players and those that have moved on to professional baseball - as Neil has done in the San Diego Padres organization. Living in San Diego County, and with Neil moving to the next level, I won't be attending as many Dirtbags games. But, mostly from a distance, I'll remain a Dirtbags fan. I welcome tips on stories and information concerning the Dirtbags (current, past and future). I can be contacted at dirtbagsfan@yahoo.com.

Dirtbags To Host Highlanders To Open BWC Play

The Long Beach State Dirtbags will host the UC Riverside Highlanders at Blair Field this weekend as the Big West Conference opens play. The LongBeachState.com release is here in html, and here in pdf. Riverside's site doesn't have a story up yet. Here's the Beach site synopsis on Riverside:
Riverside enters Big West play at 12-12 on the season, having won four of six games... last weekend they dropped two of three to UC Davis, losing the opener 13-1 before rebounding with a 16-2 win... Sunday’s rubber game resulted in a 6-2 loss... 1B/C Nick Salotti is batting a team-best .367 with eight doubles and 19 RBIs, while outfielder Aaron Grant is batting .349 with 18 RBIs... UCR is batting .256 as a team for first-year Head Coach Doug Smith... the Highlanders are posting a .947 fielding percentage and 4.80 team ERA... Hayley Winter (1.58) leads the Big West in ERA, while righthander James Simmons is solid at 3-1 with a 2.95 ERA... righthander Anthony Claggett has three saves out of the pen.
The starting pitchers are:
Friday - LHP Cesar Ramos (5-3, 1.70) v. TBA
Saturday - RHP Marco Estrada (5-0, 2.08) v. RHP Hayley Winter (4-3, 1.58)
Sunday - RHP Jared Hughes (2-2, 3.55) v. RHP Taylor Bills (2-4, 5.32)
Riverside's Friday starter is likely to either RHP James Simmons (3-1, 2.95) or LHP Jose Shaw (1-1, 4.35). In his last outing, Shaw was victimized by the Highlanders porous defense. He pitched 6.1 innings against UC Davis last weekend, giving up 8 hits, and striking out 6. But Riverside committed 4 errors (3 while Shaw was on the mound). Shaw was charged with 6 runs, only 1 of which was earned. Here's the box score. Simmons last start was against Sac State on March 11, earning him a win. He went 7.1 innings, gave up 8 hits and 2 earned runs. Here's that box score.

More later.
