A Sea Of Red

Seems our diamond ladies are not getting much respect on FF these days. They are at Winthrop this week for the Big South Tournament. Game one...10 AM Today...
...tied with BSC at 1 in the 5th.

Well its been a pretty tough road to hoe for the gals this year (The team is almost entirely freshmen this year). They are down 2-1 in the 6th inning.

Winner plays Winthrop at 3 today, loser plays loser of Coastal and Charleston Southern tomorrow morning at 10 AM.

Running a promo for the Big South Baseball Tournament in Danville in a couple weeks as well.

We strand the tying and winning runs in scoring position with 2 outs in the 7th. On to the losers' bracket

Yes, Hoeing a road is something different!

haha...good point on that one...its still been a very tough season...hopefully we can recover tomorrow and try to salvage something from this tough season.

LU up on 4-2 in the 5th vs CSU.

4-3 in bottom of 6th

5-3 top of the 7th.

LU wins 5-3. Will play either Birmingham Southern or Coastal Carolina in an elimination game at 5:30 with the winner of that game playing at 7:30

LU will be playing #3 seed Coastal in the 530 elimination game.

1 to 0 LU in 2nd.

Liberty eliminates Coastal 8-2. Next game coming right up against Radfurd.

Liberty wins this one they have to beat Winthrop twice tomorrow.

Ladies up 2-0 in the 7th...
...this is shaping up to be quite the day for LU softball. If they hold on...at least they would not play until 3 on Saturday.

LU beats RadTurd 2-0

Outstanding. Making it through the loser's bracket with a YOUNG team can only give them a great foundation to build on for next year...regardless of what happens tomorrow.

Wow! Whooda thought that this young team which struggled all year would advance further than last years Senior-dominated powerhouse?


Great job ladies!!

Congrats on getting past RU.

Thanks WFE but are you not going to wish us luck today!

I think that may be WEF's round-about way of saying he's glad they are playing us and not Radford.

It looks like our ladies are on a roll though, and they just may be young and naive enough not to know that they aren't supposed to be doing this!

Softball falls 6-1 to Winthrop. Congrats to the ladies for a nice tournament run...and to Winthrop and a true classy coach for the title.

From today's (Rock Hill) Herald:

NOTE: Liberty senior Ashley Williams was honored before the game by her teammates. Williams had to miss her graduation to play, so her teammates presented her with an "honorary" degree and sang "Pomp and Circumstance." It may have seemed like a poor substitute -- Liberty's graduation speaker was Chuck Norris.

congrats to winthrop, but a great run for the ladies and it certainly bodes well for next year!!!
