Hokies come to Lynchburg tonight. I have been so caught up in softball, this game almost snuck by me.

Great crowd. Tough game to watch. Pitching just isnt even giving us a chance right now. Got virtually nothing from dj todd and matthieu and still scratched 4 across. If pitching doesnt improve we will be another quick 2 and bbq in the tourney.

VT did most of hitting with 2 strikes, according to article in paper.

All the fans that were at baseball should be at softball this weekend. I believe attendance was at 2700+.

You'll have a hard time convincing all the Tech fans that were there to come to Winthrop vs LU softball.

Now thats funny. There was maybe 100 tech fans there and most of them probably knew nothing about baseball. It was 80 degrees it was mostly students and lu fans.

It's great the students support baseball, but I can't understand why they not support softball. Of 15,000 on campus students, one would think at least 1,000 would support softball. I think the Marketing Department or some department should do more to get the students out to softball.

That’s presuming you already know everything they do.

The atmosphere that would entice students would also require a lot of the things you despise: noise, music, between-inning promotions, etc.

Attention in women’s sports requires grassroots marketing. People are more likely to come when they KNOW the players. I’m not saying every effort isn’t already made to make that happen. I’m saying the marketing department has to combine efforts with players. If players aren’t willing, there’s virtually nothing marketing can do.
