Liberty University baseball will have a hard time living down what happened to their roster on Saturday.<\/p>\n
During a weekend that Liberty was slated to play Jacksonville State in a three-game series, the team went 1-3, including a loss that they were\u00a0forced to forfeit\u00a0due to not including a starting pitcher on the roster.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the series that included one game on Friday and a doubleheader on Saturday, teams were required to submit their 27-player roster that would feature players who would participate in the games. <\/p>\n
The Flames\u2019 roster was without Ben Blair, who was scheduled to start in Game 2, and Jacksonville State\u2019s manager took notice.<\/p>\n
He waited for Blair to step onto the mound and throw his first pitch in the game before alerting the umpires in Saturday\u2019s first game, figuring the sophomore hurler would be removed from the game or there would be a forfeit.<\/p>\n
It ended up being the former, as Conference USA has a rule that states a team has to forfeit if it utilizes an ineligible player in a game, and Liberty waved the white flag and lost 9-0.<\/p>\n
Jacksonville State\u2019s X account boasted over the win and caught some flak from other users on the platform.<\/p>\n
\tGAMECOCKS WIN!!! Due to Liberty using an ineligible player, Jax State wins by forfeit\u2026Game 2 will start at 3 p.m.\u2014 Jax State Baseball (@JaxStateBB) March 29, 2025 <\/p>\n
\u201cSuper Unclassy by the Jax state staff to wait until after the first pitch. That\u2019s not sportsmanship. Extremely disappointing,\u201d one user wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I\u2019m a JSU fan I\u2019m really embarrassed by that bush league move,\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n
Some sided with Jacksonville State in that Liberty should not have had an advantage in using a 28th man off the eligible roster. Others blamed the Flames manager outright.<\/p>\n
\u201cPerhaps the LU head coach will pay more attention to filling out his series roster card in the future since it was his error\u2026\u201d an X user wrote.<\/p>\n
Liberty said the mishap was a \u201cclerical error,\u201d according to Bryson Gordon of Newsadvance.com.<\/p>\n
Friday\u2019s opener was won by the Flames 9-8, but after the forfeit on Saturday, they lost the second game to Jacksonville State, 6-1.<\/p>\n
They are 19-10 this season and Blair holds an ERA of 2.67.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
