Ladies are now 28-4. They are 13th in Softball America, 11th in Diamond One Sports, and 12th in the ESPN.com/USA Softball rankings.
There is no mid-week game and then they go to head to Boston "Dead Zone" College for a weekend set. This is a MUST SWEEP weekend as BC is 10-20. Goal should be a run rule sweep.
Friday 4pm ACCNX
Saturday 3pm ACCNX
Sunday 1pm ACCNX.

LET'S GO...
HOKIES!
Bree Carrico named both ACC and National Fredhman of the Week
Emma Mazzarone named ACC Pitcher of the Week
Ladies already up 11-0 on BC in the Top of the 5th. Headed to an early ending today.
Ladies win 11-0 with a game ending double play.
Jordan Lynch hit two homers and Mazzarone pitched 5 shutout innings
I guess weather is expected in Boston on Sunday so Game 2 is now 530pm today. Might be closer to 6pm since Game 1 just ended.
Missed the game time change. Thanks.
Not sure if we will get a broadcast for game 2 yet since schedule change happened today
Already up 3-0 in 1st. Almost made it 6-0 on deep drive caught at wall to end first.
Terrible start on defense
Bases loaded no outs with 4 pitch walk, ground ball to third but pitcher blocked the throw to first, followed by two outfielders overrunning a pop up
Give up a run on another pop up allowed to drop
3-1
Run 2 on wild pitch.
3-2
Runners on 2nd and 3rd
This inning is getting embarrassing
Walk loads the bases again. Layton all over the place.
Finally over...felt more like 10 runs than 2
Announcers here saying there is no game tomorrow but a game Sunday but that's not what ESPN shows and Hokiesports just says TBA

Aldridge thrown out at 2nd trying to stretch a single to end the 2nd
BC called for catchers obstruction so Castine scores on Foster ground ball to 1st
Now under review by BC challenge
What a load of bullshit. They overturned obstruction
Castine hit the catchers leg blocking the plate before the tag was made
Rohs scores on wild pitch
8-2 but that overturn changed what could have been an explosive inning
BC gets a check swing two run homer
8-4

Game 2 in the book 14-4
Pretty good to get 30 wins before 5 losses
Nice we run-rules the first two games.
Now, when is the third game being played?
Hokiesports has Sunday at 1pm.
ESPN agrees. Apparently temps are supposed to be in teens in Boston today
Can't find the game on ESPN app? Is it not being shown now?
They pushed it to Sunday do to temperatures. They played a double header yesterday to give them flexibility.

I would like to see us win with that score in the football game this year
Its opponent destruction. Dang!
