 #Risewithus October 19, 2021 This time of year we always wonder what if any freshman can come in make an impact.  We know of the returning talent and the group of transfers that have come in already.  Today we will focus in on the freshman class that has come in and what we have seen and heard around the program.   Garrett Horn - is a LHP that sits 91 to 95 and has shown real promise in the fall thus far.  Horn has a chance to challenge for innings early on in his career and looks like he could be a rotation piece in the future for the Flames.  Any time you get a lefty with that type of velocity that can pound the zone he has a chance to be a difference maker.   Cam Foster - We've already spoken about Foster at length.  No matter who we talk to Foster's name just keeps coming up.  He has the ability to play all 3 infield positions and he started at 2b in the scrimmage vs VT and hit a late inning HR.  He has shown an advanced approach with gaps power that could develop into con

 #Risewithus October 16, 2021 Liberty baseball has spent the last month and a half practicing and scrimmaging each other.  Friday afternoon the Flames pitchers dominated the Hokies lineup for 9 innings and the Flames rode 3 HR's to a 6 to 0 victory in the 9 inning portion of the contest.  Newcomer Jake Lazarro paced the flames offensive attack with 3 hits including a HR and was on base in 4 of 5 total plate appearances.  Logan Mathieu smashed a 2 run HR to get the scoring started early.  As we mentioned earlier in the week freshman Cam Foster flashed and started the game at 2B for the Flames.  Foster looked the part on defense and hit a HR late in the 9 inning contest.  Foster's development is a welcome sight for the Flames.  At 6'4 he provides a different look at 2B than the Flames are used to seeing historically.  Betts caught the first 5 innings before giving way to Three Hillier who caught the remainder of the game.  Hillier has flashed this fall as well and is expected

 #Risewithus October 14, 2021 The Flames will bus up to 460 and 81 to Blacksburg for a 12 inning tilt with the Hokies of the ACC tomorrow @ 4 pm.  The Hokies will feature potential future first round pick Gavin Cross.  The Flames have taken advantage of the beautiful late summer & fall weather to get an excellent fall season in.  The Flames will wrap up the fall with a contest @ ECU next weekend.  Liberty should learn a lot about what they have for the 2022 edition of Liberty Flames baseball with these 2 upcoming contests.  Cliff Godwin has turned the Pirates into perennial power but they have been unable to get to Omaha.  VT of course was on cruise control to a potential host until the loss in Lynchburg to the Flames in April that seemed to cause the Hokies season to spiral out of control as they finished just 2 games above .500.  The final game of the 2021 season in Blacksburg against the Hokies was cancelled due to the Hokies reaching their "maximum number of games" as
