Ah fall… the crisp autumn air, the pumpkin spice, the unheralded baseball schedule drops on LATechSports.com…
Hours after Louisiana Tech’s Homecoming shutout over the Old Dominion Monarchs, someone on Twitter and BTB mentioned that the baseball schedule had been updated on the official website. As of this writing, there hasn’t been an “official” announcement, but we’re gonna break it down anyway!
For reference, here’s what Tech’s numbers look like: 33-25, #80 RPI, Conference Tourney, and #58 in d1Baseball’s Top 100 Programs in College Baseball.
