A silver lining is that LU has seen their #1 already so they can get a better plate plan ready.

Winning 2 games in a row against JMU will be very tough but not impossible. PH is right, the fact that we have seen their #1 pitcher may be a blessing. Regardless, I think we win game 1 but in game 2 I have my doubts. We shall see.

Yeah, I would think they ride that horse until it kicks. If you’re JMU, you want to do everything possible to avoid Game 2 today. That includes throwing your top pitcher until she can’t go anymore.

Big MO on our side so far in Game 1. If we can get to game 2, I suspect we can be very competitive. The twins have made a couple of fantastic defensive plays.

Two HR's from LU. A single with the batter taking second on an error on the right fielder and a triple for JMU.

Brilliant move by the JMU coach, changing pitchers. It is a big change in the way they pitch and it is giving their ace, some time to rest, in case of a game 2 today. Our girls look like they are really focused.

We did the same in 2018. Were actually one win away then. Two wins away now, and the wheels are falling off.

JMU has doubled our score in the 6th inning, up 8-4. Is Ballcoach driving home yet? That may be our only chance of coming back.

I didn’t anticipate Kirby performing as poorly she did today. Makes me think maybe something wrong? Hard to believe just tired. Bummer. We looked so poised through four innings.

The answer is yes, but if I recall, it's just one time per game.

So, Amber goes out in style with a HR on her last AB as a Flame, but it's not enough and we lose 8-5. I believe that HR (#19) gave her the single-season record, which was pretty much the only Liberty HR record she didn't already have.

Faced with the prospect of taking the field without at least one "A. Bishop" next season for the first time in * 5 years* the most positive thing to come out of this post season was some clutch production from young players. Of course Autumn and Amber will be sorely missed, but I feel pretty good about where the program is.

I’m going to figure the teams isn’t happy with the results of this game but will be happy with the results of the season
Hopefully Cider has a nice meal ready for ballcoach when he returns. Maybe some flowers and a stool to put his feet upon. :D :)

Purple and JK need to get a ROOM.

Classy post by at least one JMU fan.

Well played series by Liberty. Very impressed w/ the ascendency of their program. With their money and willingness to schedule tough teams, they're going to be a force moving forward. Hope we continue to schedule them.

Cider is probably drawing him a nice warm bath as we type. Maybe some bubbles. Rose peddles. Stuff like that.
