HOKIES
Good gals win 14-2 in 6 innings. 7 run top of the 6th scoring ended in a Castine 3 run homer.
Hokies down 0-4 end of first.
Hokies at duke on accnx
Hokies with 3 hits, bases loaded in top of the 1st and could not push one across.
Mazzarone pitching for Hokies. Gives up 1 hit in bottom of 1st. But it was a grand slam after 3 walks.
Walks have been the biggest issue for the Hokies. Most opponent runs have been from walks.
duke adds another in the bottom of the 4th.
Mazz with a 2 out walk, advance to second on wild pitch, base hit.
0-5
Welp down 6-0 now
We've out-hit them 6-4

Luginbill 2RBI single in 2nd for Hokies
Second day in a row, pitching getting bombed in first inning.
5-2 Duke now in top of 6th. Definitely not the weekend the ladies wanted so far
duke wins it 5-2
The ump perplexed me. Same pitch by Duke, low and outside on our right handed batter, that is called a strike, then is called a ball the next pitch. Over and over. I stopped the recording to look again at several calls and he just couldn't be depended on to call it right. Both teams, but it seemed like Duke benefited more.
I agree with this take! Same pitch, same place, two different calls.
Ladies only managed one run. Had bases loaded with one out and failed to score.
1-0 going to bottom of 2nd
Lynch with solo HR in top of the 3rd. 2-1 HOKIES
Top of 4th... weather delay.

Hope we get the 1-2-3 bottom of 5th
Mazzarone gets 3 Ks to finish the 10-2 Run Rule victory
Movement she gets in the low 70's is just crazy- she just needs to be close to the zone. Her stuff looks like softball version of Norm Charlton (low 90's slider/ cutter)
HOKIES WIN! HOKIES WIN!
