Just watched it - the HC player is Claire McCann good scheduling to play a school transitioning down to D.3 - resulting in dh sweep for HC 11 wins at this stage of the season has not happened on a long time

Taking 2 games from CCSU today was a positive for softball.

Taking 2 games from CCSU today was a positive for softball. Positive indeed. Nelson tosses a one hitter and Yurchick scatters 4 hits with 10 K's is a great day at the yard for HC. Especially when you consider that CCSU usually has a decent squad. So it looks like Coach Kim can coach. If she can recruit, things may be looking up!

We are now 13-23 on the year. 3-6 in the PL. Not great but hopefully trending in the right direction. It’s all relative on the Hill.

I'm in favor of scheduling down when talking about this program - CCSU is inarguably at the bottom of all D.1 with a 5-32 record after yday's results Now we go to the other end of D.1 and face BU for 3 games - they are the class of the PL and have wins over top 20 teams this season - don't expect any close scores

Not doubting the prediction, but in MLB a three game series between first and last place teams often results in a 2-1 split not a sweep.
If HC could steal one game after sweeping CCSU, it would be a real shot in the arm.

Well, Foley, only one of the two games was a run-rule affair. Kelly Nelson is officially not the best pitcher in the league - she’s now 9-13 on the season and was touched up for 5 runs in 3 innings in the 8-0 shutout (where we were no-hit) We managed only 2 hits in the 4-0 2nd game loss

After 7-0 loss today we were outscored 19-zip and managed a total of 5 hits - and this is one of our better teams in recent years

Softball having their best season in a long time - just took 2 of 3 from Army this weekend (Nelson the winning pitcher in both W's) We're solidly in 5th place and with a tough road to the playoffs but the record now stands at 16-28 (5-10 in PL) which is very good for us

Nelson has nine strikeouts after four innings today against Lafayette and she has a shot at 600 for her career with one more start tomorrow. HC 3-1. The sun came out and the outfield is bright green. No brown spots noted.

HC wins 3-1 as Nelson ends up with a ten strikeout complete game.

I was looking for the baseball game on ESPN+. Don't know but it might not be enough capability to stream baseball and softball at the same time. Still good to have many games streamed.

HC sweeps Lafayette this weekend but finish 8-10 (21-29) one game out of the playoffs behind Colgate 9-9. 9-4 on Freshman Field. Their first .500 or better record at home since 2003.
Kelly Nelson finished with 603 strikeouts, the first Crusader to ever record 600 or more. She should definitely be bound for the HOF.

Winning record at home, Kelly Nelson's HC K record, series wins (and a sweep) over PL rivals... all in all, a great first season for Coach Stiles. Most of next year's freshmen will be from Coach Lapicki's efforts, but overall, things are looking up at Freshman Field.

Nelson's career stats are remarkable when you consider that the team played only 11 games in her soph season and 28 in her jr year It was mentioned awhile back that both she and catcher Erin Bengston are in the transfer portal looking for a grad transfer season elsewhere - will be interesting to see where they land (altho Bengston's stats are marginal)

Schools, even Ivies, often take the average catcher in order to sign the stong pitcher

Good. BU cherry picks their sports to compete in. Good to see a school with football and baseball still able to win a championship in softball.
