LU closes regular season at home vs. Gardner Webb. I am looking for a sweep and then get everyone healthy and go to Rock Hill and win BSC Tournament.

Sounds like a plan.

Last I heard she is day to day. Awaiting medical clearance. We are a much better team with her in the lineup. If she had been in lineup every game we would have at least 10 more wins.

Good game. I am at University of South Carolina watching Alabama-USC.

You missed a gem from both sides ballcoach. Only one hit allowed combined between the two pitchers

I monitored box score on my phone. Wish I could have seen that one.

With our 15th BSC win we set a program record.

We actually set the record in game 1 but to clinch another series win is totally awesome. We lost only two series in conference all year

It's been nice to see JD emerge in the circle as the clear #1. I'm down from NJ to watch the final home game today. Let's get the sweep!

Every player is different, and I have no idea if her arm can hand!e it, but there are multiple examples of softball teams going almost exclusively with one pitcher. I think we are at a point where as long as it is not jeopardizing her health, Julia needs to be out there as much as possible. We are a different team with her on the mound.

Cassidy also pitched very well in relief which was good to see.

I hate when we make a big deal out of the most ever conferences wins. There's more games than eve . That being said I think we have seen progress this year that I wasent sure we were seeing a month ago. Glad to see a few of the programs having good years.

I think the offense is learning to find its way after the injuries we had recently. DiMartino has definitely asserted herself as the #1 pitcher for us but we have three very good pitchers with her, Cassady and Marlowe. Ball has had her moments throughout this year but I kinda hoped she would finish her career better than she has being the only senior on the staff. We're going to need all four of them for the tournament if we want to make it back to Championship Saturday

Not really. Going with more than 3 pitchers in softball usually means you have a problem. A lot of teams don't even carry 4 on the roster.

LU sweeps. Ball throws 3 hit shutout in her final game at LU stadium
LU wins 4-0. Loveridge was back in lineup today.

Nice end to the season but before anyone gets too excited, G-W has lost 11 straight. Having Loveridge back is big, and Amader has been playing, but not in cf, as dh. I don't think she has a hit since returning. Any word on Madison Kotchey? We miss her bat.

I believe Amador hit a home run since returning. She has swung bat well in my opinion. Looks as if we may be in good shape for tournament.

Kotchey is no longer on roster. Having her bat out of lineup has probably cost us some wins.

Having Loveridge back at short gives us a little swagger that we definitely need. I've watched a lot of the games on TV back in NJ but was able to make it down for this series. I just wanted to say how much I enjoy DR as the 3rd base coach. Her enthusiasm and intensity is contagious and I hope that is a permanent move.

That was a good move with her going to 3B. I been wanting to see it happen since day one.

I don't know what roster you are talking about because she is on the roster on the AD website.
