A Sea Of Red

Campbell vs G Webb, winner plays Liberty

Radford vs Winthrop, winner plays Longwood

Good to see Winthrop make tournament in their Coaches final season before retirement. He is a class act.

Good matchups for us IMHO. G-W and Campbell have power hitters, but we have shown we can handle them with our pitching, and their pitching is suspect. Radford and Winthrop both have pitchers who could give us all we can handle on a given day.

Does that mean that Liberty won't be playing until Friday?

I believe LU plays at 12:00 noon on Thursday.

Thanks, ballcoach.

D1 Softball most wins regular season 2018

Florida. 47
UCLA. 47
Oklahoma. 47
Liberty. 44
Tennessee. 44

That’s nice and all, but let’s be honest: our conference schedule doesn’t come close to the Pac12, SEC or Big12.

That's true.

(reminds me of Big 10 football)

But, but ...OHIO STATE!!

(I’m with you on this one.)

I'm not doubting you, ballcoach, but can you send me a link to those stats? I'd like to see the top 10 or top 20 win totals.

My original post had incorrect information as to how many wins each team had. NCAA site I went to was incorrect early this morning.
Update as follows:

UCLA 48
OK 47
Florida 47
LU 44
TN 44
Washington 44
Oregon 44

Go to NCAA D1 softball, click on Rankings, then scroll down to RPI, all D1 teams are listed.

I was surprised to see that JMU is ranked above us.

Not as good this year as last year but still 40-10. Last year 52-8 lost regional final to Baylor 1-0.

Hofstra should not be ahead of LU. Their conference may be weaker than BSC, top to bottom.

I'm amazed that LU is within 2 spots of SEC power Ole Miss, my alma mater.

Agreed about Hofstra’s league, but they are good. One of the few traditionally strong programs out of the northeast. Basically if you’re good and from New England, but not recruited South, you go to Hofstra. And they made up for their league with some decent out-of-conference scheduling.

As I watch some of Campbell vs G Webb game on the BSC network, I am reminded of how crummy Radford's softball stadium is. Looks more like a high school field than a D1 field. I know BSC rotates the tournament, but they should set some standards before a school can host.
The camera appears to be stationed somewhere in right center field. Really bad angle as a result.

G Webb scores 7 runs in top of 7th inning to beat Campbell 11-5. Campbell was 3 outs away from a 5-4 win, but Webb scored 6 runs before making an out.

Radford beat Winthrop 3-2, scoring 2 in bottom of 7th. Radford plays the school from FarmVille in game 2 tomorrow.

Campbell eliminates Winthrop by score of 12-2.

Too many #2 kids.

LU down 2-0 in a rain delay.

Over 3 hour delay at this point. Any idea whether they will be resuming soon?

The weather map shows no rain but the field could be unplayable if it rained that long. I'm not there to testify about the field conditions.
