Head Baseball Coach Ron Riggle is currently in his 25th season coaching the LLCC Loggers, with this being his 13th season as head coach. In addition to his coaching duties, Ron has served as the college’s athletic director since 1997. In this role, he takes a keen interest in the success of each athletic program at the college, working diligently to attract and retain gifted, hard-working student athletes to LLCC. While coaching at Lincoln Land, Coach Riggle has been a driving force in the continued success of the program, including the NJCAA Championship teams in 1994 and 2000 and the 1993, 1995 and 2014 NJCAA national tournament teams. During Riggle’s LLCC coaching career, the Loggers have won more than 700 games. Coach Riggle’s expertise and enthusiasm are built on the foundation of his own successes as a student athlete in both high school and college. The former Springfield high school All-City pitcher still holds a number of city records including a perfect 0.00 ERA record for All-City performances. Riggle won a record 13 games as a senior at Springfield High School. He won 14 games as a starter for the Loggers during the 1987- 1988 seasons at LLCC. After Lincoln Land, Riggle went on to pitch for Coastal Carolina University in Myrtle Beach, S.C. He pitched on the team that won back-to- back Big South Conference championships in 1989 and 1990.

  • Cubs Daily Clips
    September 10, 2016 Cubs.com Lester, Bryant lower Cubs' magic number to 7 By Brian McTaggart and Jordan Ray HOUSTON -- He could have been an Astro, and on Friday night, Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant served up a reminder of the kind of impact he could have had at Minute Maid Park. Bryant, taken by the Cubs as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2013 Draft after the Astros passed on him with the top pick, clubbed a two-run homer in the fifth inning to back seven scoreless from Jon Lester to send the Cubs to a 2-0 win over the Astros, lowering Chicago's magic number to 7. "It still feels like we're just right in the middle of the season, but we feel like we're getting to baseball that actually really matters," Bryant said. "Anything can happen in the full season, so you've got to get there first, and we certainly feel like we're playing really good baseball right now." The Astros have lost three in a row and remain 2 1/2 games back in the race for the second American League Wild Card spot behind both the Orioles and Tigers, who drew even on Friday with Detroit's 4-3 win over Baltimore. "We did have some chances," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. "Lester's a good pitcher and he has a way of finding himself out of these jams. We did get the leadoff runner on about half the innings against Lester but couldn't quite get the big hit.
