Lipscomb is #11 in the country . . .

. . . when it comes to abusing pitchers.

In Lipscomb's 56 baseball games this year, the starting pitcher threw over 120 pitches seven times. In the A-Sun, only Campbell was more abusive of its starters (7 120+ pitch-count games out of 51 played).

In 2008, Lipscomb ranked 11th in the country in Pitcher Abuse Points, going over 120 pitches a mind-boggling 16 times and twice breaking the 130 mark. In the same category last year, USC-Upstate ranked 15th in the country, piling up 12 120-pitch starts.
