ensive fall but he s going to need to defend better the blazers not only showed improvements at the plate this fall but also on the mound shoop said he was pleased with the progress of the staff and believes he has some first year arms that will be able to contribute in the upcoming 2008 season kyle roberson had a very good fall and it s important that he carries that over to the spring shoop said mitch kloskowski was super in the fall as well our veterans were almost a man better than a year ago and that s the natural progression you hope for roberson struck out three in three innings and allowed just one run in his fall series start while his counterpart kloskowski also struck out three and allowed one run in three innings in earning a tie senior right hander brandon flaherty allowed no runs and struck out five batters in his start while fellow senior brandon wallace nearly mirrored that performance striking out five in allowing just one run in his three innings two new arms shoop was impressed with during fall camp were those of junior transfers beau pender and johnny volk pender who is coming back from injury saw limited action in the green vs gold series while volk pitched three innings struck out two and issued no walks pender is a legitimate conference usa weekend guy so we need him to come back healthy for us shoop said volk throws a lot of strikes and has an

the bears 2008 schedule wednesday the 55 game regular season slate includes 31 games at baylor ballpark including the third annual qti baylor classic the bears open the 2008 season with nine consecutive home games starting with a three game series feb 22 24 against purdue baylor welcomes illinois illinois chicago and stephen f austin for the qti baylor classic feb 29 through march 2 2008

10 opponents who participated in the 2007 ncaa tournament including nine games against 2007 super regional participants and a three game series at 2007 college world series participant mississippi state march 7 9 the bears play 18 games against six opponents who finished the 2007 season ranked in the baseball america top 25 from march 7 to march 23 baylor plays 12 consecutive games against teams who participated in the 2007 ncaa tournament the bears play 10 of 12 games against 2007 tournament teams from april 18 to may 4 this is a good schedule both for the players and the fans smith said it gives the players a chance to be in a familiar environment in the season s first nine games and again to open big 12 play plus fans have plenty of opportunities at various points in the season to not only see us play but to see us play top level competition due to new ncaa legislation no division i program can start its season prior to feb 22 this means only three weekends of non conference play before big 12 conference play begins the weekend of march 14 baylor hosts oklahoma state to start big 12 play this season the new legislation also means an increase in the number of midweek games i m very much in favor of the universal start date smith said i wish the end of the season had been pushed back some to compensate but it is what it is all teams must adjust to only three weeks prior to conference play and all teams must play two midweek games on a regular basis so there s no competitive advantage one way or the other what the new format does allow is more opportunities for pitchers and that is a definite plus along with the traditional split series in big 12 play baylor also hosts texas for a midweek non conference tilt april 22 the bears and the longhorns meet may 2 4 in big 12 action with the series opener at baylor ballpark and the series final two games at austin we ve wanted to play texas in a midweek non conference game for a while and the new schedule format made this game even more practical smith said obviously this is a great opportunity for fans to see two of the conference s top programs in another game more than that though it is an opportunity for both teams to play top competition in a midweek game this helps our rpi texas rpi and the conference s rpi baylor s split series against texas a m is april 18 20 with the series opener at college
