Actually, Huffman pitched well against us too. I would think Dot will start Chase, with Julia ready to go in relief if needed.

[Chippy]

So, we get Radford, and either will face their #2 pitcher Huffman, or Morrow, after pitching a complete game today. I like that a lot better than going against Sydney Backstrom of Longwood, who had our number earlier this year.

Huffman has pitched 17 innings against us this year - 3 runs (2 earned). She's a better pitcher than Morrow. Longwood pitchers are a challenge as well - Backstrom, a freshmen and Gay, sophomore will be a nemesis for a few years to come.

Gay is a JR this year (thank goodness).

Some of Huffman's numbers are better, but clearly, the Radford coach considers Morrow her #1, and she certainly did a job on Longwood today.

I think Huffman is Radford best pitcher based on games I have seen. But we should be able to beat no matter who they pitch.

Amazing that the BSC chooses to hold conference tournaments at these horrible venues, when we have one of the best facilities in the region, for most sports.
After we land in another conference, they should rent out our facilities for their Championship tournaments. It would be a lot better than any other BSC facilities. They can also say that they will now hold these at a neutral site.

Every sport handles it differently, but in softball they rotate, with every team getting to host every 8 years I guess. It's "fair", but silly.

LU has never hosted the tournament, nor has Presby or GW. GW did renovations, however, they cannot host now due to the turf infield (NCAA rule). Presby does not have the seating or facilities. The tournament has rotated between Winthrop, Radford, Campbell and Longwood. LU did not have the facilities to host prior to the new stadium. The sites are chosen years in advance and LU was not in the rotation. Graduation is also an issue when they occur during the same weekend.

You are being a little harsh on Radford's facilities. It's as nice, or nicer, than most of the mid D1 facilities. LU has one of the nicest in the country.. that is not the standard to benchmark other schools.

[ballcoach15]

Radford does not have facilities worthy of hosting, neither does Longwood or Winthrop, site of 2 previous tournaments.

Truth be known Liberty is only BSC school with facilities worthy of hosting. I not want to sound like a homer, but facts are facts.

Campbell eliminates G Webb 12-4. Campbell now plays Longwood tomorrow. Megan Richards who pitched a 10 inning no hitter against Longwood earlier in season, should get call for Camels.

[ballcoach15]

The team from Farmville beats Campbell 6-5.

[Cider Jim]

Ballcoach, did you know there are TWO colleges in Farmville?

[ballcoach15]

Yes, one I like, one I despise. Neither should be D1, in my opinion.

I recall a motto Hampton Sydney had a few years ago:

" Hampton Sydney, where men are men and women are guests"

I recall when Longwood was all girl's school. Still probably is, if you know what I mean.

[Cider Jim]

Good one, ballcoach. For those of you not in Radford, the game is on ESPN3.
