When I was in college two girls who were on the field hockey team that were in my Physical Chemistry class were asked to try out and walk on to the softball team because they needed bodies. Unreal reversal of program if true

I haven’t paid any attention to our softball team in… how long has it been… let’s see, carry the one… apparently never. I guess it’s time for this fair-weather fan to start watching!

Every time I watch a fast pitch softball game… I can’t fathom how hard it is to hit that ball with all the motion those girls can get on it.

So question as somebody who also hasn’t followed: if we’re top 25, would we be forecast to be in the NCAA tournament? I’m assuming so, but have no idea where I’d look to tell what direction this season is actually headed beyond just looking at our record.

14 conference wins should get us in. Big series at Palmer Park this weekend versus the Wolfpack.

After dropping a heartbreaker 1-0 in 12 innings last night at #3 Duke the Hoos bounced back today to take both games (4-3, 3-2) and win the series.

Virginia is now 30-15 (13-8) and finish with a game @ VT this week and a 3 games series at GT.
