Tech baseball takes slide

Just when they had their fans in a frenzy, the Louisiana Tech baseball team threw a damper on the season by losing five consecutive games at Sacremento State and at New Mexico State by a combined seven runs.

Even Tuesday night's 8-7 victory over UL-Monroe will do little to revive the momentum that has been lost. The Bulldogs will need to sweep Hawaii this weekend to get the diamond revival back to a fever pitch.

Despite the losses, however, Tech baseball coach Wade Simoneaux appears to have his team on the cusp of something special. A couple of more highly regarded recruiting classes should have him where he wants to be.
