National TV game tonight at Clemson. I went by their new stadium when we went to baseball earlier this year. It is really nice!! And the fans pack it out. Their stadium was half full during warmups when we walked by.
Tough matchup tonight but a good opportunity for another quality win.
I THINK this weekendâs games in Boca Raton are on CUSA TV, though neither schools website lists them as such. Youâd think a school as opulent as FAU would spring for ESPN plus. Guess they canât afford a second camera.
Edit: the games this weekend are on CUSA TV. Link provided on FAU website. Maybe in the next day or so, ourâs will provide a link. This is going to be a very difficult series away. We also have Western Ky and North Texass away, which is why we really needed to sweep FIU last weekend.
I guess after they built a putt putt course and a playground for the football team, they had some money leftover to start a softball program from scratch.
Trailed Clemson 2-1 in the top of fifth and had the tying and go ahead runs both in scoring position and didnât get them in. After a two run homer in the bottom of the inning, coach kind of threw in the towel on this game, bringing in two of our least effective pitchers. Probably trying to save something for our weekend series, which will be very big for our league standings.
Clemsonâs lineup featured no player batting under .300 and one batting over .500.
They pitched someone with an ERA less than 1. Her ERA improved tonight, since we didnât score an earned run. They are pretty good.
I thought this series might be OK for our RPI, and then I looked up FAUâs. Itâs in the 95 range. Ours in between 25 and 30. I guess FAU must have had a weak OOC schedule.
LOVE BooâŠabsolutely LOVE Boo. There may not be a better player to represent us on any alltime list. And she may also be the undisputed best softball player weâve ever had in our history.
ButâŠsheâs breaking a lot of these records with an extra Covid yearâŠ5 full seasons.
4 yr records broken in 5 yrs really should have an asterikâŠin every sport.
