This weekend we host the Liberty Softball Classic.

Rutgers, Robert Morris, Sacred Heart, Cleveland State, and Quinnipiac come to Lynchburg. I haven't complied a scouting report on the teams yet. Thus I know nothing about them, other than Rutgers, who we played in Texas.

Hopefully, the weather will cooperate.

LU has the second longest "home" win streak in the nation, behind Florida Gators. Julia DiMartino has retired the last 28 batters she has faced.

I don’t think any of those are strong. Quinny might be best.

[ballcoach15]

It's hard to get a good report on many northern teams, in that they have played so few games. Quinnipaic has only played 5 games, (2-3). Their pitching seems somewhat decent, but their schedule has been weak.
Rutgers is probably best of the visiting teams. Their record isn't great, but if my memory is correct they lost some close games at Texas A&M.

[JK37]

You’re right about northern teams.

What concerns me is that this will be the second "tourney" that has average to below average teams. When we go out west it will be a large step up in competition.

[ballcoach15]

Bucknell was a good team, who gave us a good game. I think we will go to California ready to play.

Schedule change:

We play Quinnipiac at 3:00 p.m. Thursday.

[ballcoach15]

LU beats Quinnipiac 4-0. DiMartino, Engler, Cassady and Kirby combined for a no hitter. Robertson had first inning HR.

Just received weather forecast from #sources. It will take a miracle for any softball to be played in Lynchburg tomorrow.

The football woes are now thrashing SB

Bad year for LU and weather. Yesterday was fairly nice weather, but only 59 fans were at softball game.

[Dalegarz1]

The weather will always be a factor for attendance. Having said that, an appearance in the super regionals with TV coverage would, IMHO, generate a lot more local and student interest. A world series appearance would be a blockbuster. As much as some of us love the game, the majority love a winner more!

[ballcoach15]

I think were are winning enough now, to be drawing more fans. I wish local media would cover softball more. Only the die hard fans probably even know season has started.

Schedule update. Today's games cancelled. LU plays Sacred Heart at 3:00 tomorrow. Then Cleveland State at 5 .
