To be a kid again watching baseball dreaming of one day being the guys out there.

This is what college baseball is all about.

[Astros Josh @AstrosJosh]

MLB has all this momentum right now. They can pass the NBA as the #2 sport in America. But, my fear is they're going to ruining all that momentum with a lockout next year.

Justifying spending $150 on opening day tickets because there won’t be an opening day next year

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Jared Schaeffer delivered the first quality start (6+ IP, 3 or less earned runs) of the Patriots’ season this afternoon.

David Heefner, who is making his DBU debut, is on the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a nine-run cushion.

Schaeffer having himself a day ⚡️

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Pats snap their midweek skid in a wild one.

Ben Tryon jumped the yard twice to fuel a 16-run day for DBU.

Big time outing from Armani Knipper out of the bullpen, going 2.1 innings and allowing just one run on a 69.2% strike percentage.

The group heads to Delaware Friday.

[DBU Baseball @DBU_Baseball]

BALLGAME!

Avery Duncan strikes out three hitters in the ninth to seal the win!

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

This one only went 453. Yawn.

Bennett is on pace for approximately 29 home runs on the season, the current program record (D-I era) stands at 24, set by Austin Listi in 2017.

[DBU Baseball @DBU_Baseball]

Jake Bennett CRUSHES one over the batter's eye for his tenth homer of the year!

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Is 454 feet over the batter’s eye good?

Patriots on the hunt for a 1-0 start in C-USA play.

JAKE BENNETT TO DEAD CENTER FOR THE LEAD‼️

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Important win in run-rule fashion yesterday to avoid being swept, seeing dominant performances from Ryan Borberg and Liam Watt.

Borberg across his last two starts:
7.2 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K

Watt this season (eight appearances):
17.0 IP, 14 H, 2 ER, 4 BB, 11 K

[DBU Baseball @DBU_Baseball]

Borberg and Watt combine to concede just one run in seven innings.
Four different Patriots jump the yard.
Pats win their third run-rule game of the season...

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Not sure where to find this data, but i’m willing to wager that we just witnessed the shortest home run in the history of Horner Ballpark (333 feet), albeit a lead-taking grand slam.

Ryan Martin is now up to five homers on the season, which is second on the team.

[DBU Baseball @DBU_Baseball]

RYAN MARTIN'S GRAND SLAM GIVES US THE LEAD IN THE FOURTH! 💥

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Tough, low-scoring loss on the road against one of the top programs in the country.

However, Liam Watt tossed 5.0 strong innings in a spot where the team really needed it.

Using just 3 pitchers tonight allows for much needed rest entering the weekend.

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Chaos ball.

Chayton Krauss and Cooper Neville both launch grand slams in a rollercoaster victory.

Ryan Borberg (who called his own pitches), tossed four scoreless and only allowed two baserunners.

Great at-bats in the ninth inning led to the walk-off.

Pats @ Oklahoma Tuesday.

[DBU Baseball @DBU_Baseball]

What a weekend at Horner!

Krauss and Neville leave the yard twice.
Borberg tosses four scoreless.
Pats tally their second walk-off victory of the year...

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Following over 3.5 hours of game time…

DBU improves to 6-0 at home after nearly 400 pitches were thrown between the Pats and Falcons.

Athan Kroll K’d all five hitters he faced to seal the victory.

Jerrod Jenkins (1-0, 3.38 ERA) is set to toe the rubber at 3:05 tomorrow.

[DBU Baseball @DBU_Baseball]

Ready to do it all again tomorrow!

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Baseball is fun.

Pats improve to 5-0 at home.

JT Long saves the day in the top of the ninth by generating three straight K’s with the bases loaded, before Jake Bennett drops the hammer.

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Big bounce-back win today after a tough series at UTSA.

Notable arms vs UT Arlington:
Tate Hess - 2.2 ip, 0 er, 1 k, 48 p
Max Luzarraga (W) - 2.1 ip, 0 er, 2 k, 36 p
Liam Watt - 1.0 ip, 0 er, 0 k, 10 p
Athan Kroll - 1.1 ip, 0 er, 1 k, 17 p
JT Long - 0.2 ip, 0 er, 1 k, 7 p

[DBU Baseball @DBU_Baseball]

Ben Tryon rips four base hits.
Keaton Grady swipes three bags.
Seven arms combine for zero earned runs... and more!⤵️

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Somebody’s losing their zero tomorrow.

Big early test for a pair of Texas mid-majors who participated in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, remember UTSA won the Austin Regional last summer.

Keaton Grady will step into the left-handed batters box at roughly 4:00 pm tomorrow, on ESPN+.

[DBU Baseball @DBU_Baseball]

Big weekend ahead down south.

3️⃣ thoughts through 4️⃣ games:

1) Jerrod Jenkins can be successful in any role he’s given on the mound.

2) Head coach Dan Heefner could close his eyes and randomly pick any of his bullpen arms to throw an effective inning right now.

3) Jake Bennett is good at baseball.

[DBU Baseball @DBU_Baseball]

Jake Bennett turns in his second multi-homer game of the campaign.
7️⃣ different DBU arms combine for 13 K's.

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Jerrod Jenkins (three scoreless, 7 K on Friday) will get the ball for DBU tonight.

ACU’s projected starter is RHP Logan Young, who turned in a sub-three ERA at Dallas College Eastfield (JuCo) last spring. Young also posted an elite 5.5 K/BB ratio.

Tate Hess tosses five perfect innings out of the bullpen.
Ryan Martin leaves the yard for the first time as a Patriot.

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

Ryan Martin has wasted no time introducing himself to the Patriot faithful.

The redshirt junior LF has reached base in six of his first nine plate appearances, and his first big fly of the year puts the Pats ahead in the series finale.

[DBU Baseball @DBU_Baseball]

RYAN MARTIN LEAVES THE YARD TO GIVE US THE LEAD! 💪

[Anderson Collins @anders0ncollins]

It’s not every day you see a homer to center field with a 20 degree launch angle… Jake Bennett everyone.

Jake Bennett's first big fly of the season left the building in a hurry! 💪
