Just remember that fine academic institution, Louisville, got into the ACC, and I've never heard anyone refer to SMU's academics as being great.

Liberty heads east down 460 today for a game at Longwood. Need to bring back a win, to protect RPI.

1 change and a couple of tweaks. But we swung bats much better today. A strong wind blowing in front CF, probably cost us 3 home runs.

It was good to see President Costin at the game. He was there for all 7 innings. I never saw Prevo at a game.

Liberty 4 NMS 3. Roberts 2 run homer. Kersten pinch hit RBI single in bottom of 6th, following a double by Jesse. for go ahead run. Madrey making diving catch in Top of 7th in LF, and doubled runner off 1B for game ending DP. Escobar complete game win. We're now in driver's seat for regular season.

We need to pitch her like NMS pitched Roupe today. Walk her. I believe one of her HRs got out of the park so quick, our outfielder didn't have time to look up. She has a good, quick swing.

Final NMSU 6 Liberty 2. Pitching was good enough to win. NMS had 5 hits, but 2 were HRs. We only had 4 hits. Left bases loaded in bottom of 7th.
Too many pop-ups and ground outs. :dontgetit
I believe line-up change is needed at 3 positions.

Big win, but we should have won it in 7 innings. We "ran into" a couple of outs on the base paths. A couple of really bad at-bats, and giving a NMSU hitter too good of a pitch with 2-0 count, in 7th inning, that she hit for a HR. I though we should have pitched around her.

Final home CUSA 3 game series, starts tonight. NMSU is tied for 2nd place with WKU at 10-5. (LU is 15-3). A liberty sweep will eliminate NMSU from regular season title race.

That might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen pertaining to college sports, (other than the stupid transfer portal). Putting VT and UVA in with a bunch of northern schools is completely stupid.
"the love of money is the root of all evil", no where is this more true than in college sports.

We lose 2-1. Pitching was good enough to win, but we only had 4 hits. We did hit several balls hard that UNC made good play on

Our approach at the plate is not good. Most of our hitters look lost. Bad half swings, taking hittable pitches for strikes, too many weak pop-ups. Need to be more aggressive.
We were so bad today, I headed home in 8th inning. Couldn't watch anymore.

Liberty wins 5-1. Fortner and Barrett had home runs. McManus 2 run double. Escobar 7 innings, 2 hits, 10 strikeouts.
We had a lot of bad at bats, despite scoring 5 runs. Should have had more. Hitters were once again too passive. Bad approach at the plate.

We can't afford another loss. I hope to see a couple run rule wins this weekend. We have a 2 game lead, and you are saying we need to go undefeated the rest of the season? Need to build RPI, in case we slip up in CUSA tournament, and need to rely on at-large bid to get into NCAA tournament. MTSU ha...

Going into season most everyone I talked with was highly concerned about our pitching, but confident we'd score a lot of runs. The opposite has happened. :dontgetit

I do. (That also goes for UVA, Notre Dame and Ohio State football). I wish all 4 would go a combined 0-48 each season.

ECC29, there are some posters on here who probably don't know a softball is round. They always post some _______ comment that has nothing to do with college softball.

Liberty travels north to play the Boo Hoos Tuesday. Game has been moved to 7:00 p.m. to be shown on ACC Network.
We need to win this game for RPI purposes. Not to mention it be embrassing to lose 2 straight to boo hoos.

Love got final 2 outs with 2 runners on base in 7th inning for the save. The win gives Liberty a 2 game lead in CUSA sta...
