Stonehill (2nd year in D.1) with 4-16 record sweep HC Very bad sign Pitching really struggled. It's hard to come out ahead when you fall behind in the count and then have to throw something center cut. First pitch strikes are important in softball as many players are taught to "take the first strike" as they were coached by a former baseball player where pitch count is more relevant. I didn't count how many first pitch strikes we threw yesterday, but it sure didn't seem like many. Lehigh this weekend, away. Looking at their results to date, they don't appear to be as tough as in seasons past (not the juggernaut BU appears to be), but Coach Fran's teams compete. Could be a long bus ride home... |

Lost all three games at Lehigh by a combined 13-2
We struck out 14 times yday while our pitchers struck out only one Lehigh batter
Lehigh showing off their superior pitching - for which they have a lot of schollie aid (right up there with BU) that keeps them at or near the top of the PL every year.

In academics generally the English Department isn't starved to feed the History Department but in athletics, minor sports don't get much to eat at the scholarship table.
Not that any HC team is competing with ripped uniforms or carpooling to games, but in relation to our peers, minor sports can have an uphill climb.
Big money has been and is being poured into facilities, which I think is having a slow positive effect.

It looks like another year where we will not compete for a playoff berth. Army’s record coming into today’s dh was 5-25 (1-5 Pl) and they swept us 12-4 and 7-1.

After run-rule 9-1 loss this morning we were swept by a 5-25 Army team (now 8-25) by a run total of 28-6. Nationally ranked BU is next on the PL schedule this weekend. We are D.1 in name only.

Something was off this weekend. Against Lehigh and others, pitching seemed to start pretty sharp and then a bad inning (sometimes two) cost us. This weekend was different, and worse. None of the pitchers looked comfortable in the circle and as a result, Army scored early and often. Let's hope the coaching staff uses their mid-week non-con DH to get it straightened out.

Managed to edge Merrimack yday 2-1 with only 3 hits
Today was run-ruled in both losses to Sacred Heart 12-3 and 8-0
Next up this weekend 3 games at nationally no.21 ranked BU (32-4 record)
Do we really have to show up ?

Predictable 2 five inning run rule losses to BU today 14-0 and 9-0.
Single game on Sunday to end the suffering- gotta feel badly for our ladies who, I am sure, are competing as best as they can

Softball played respectably today going all 7 innings in 4-0 loss to BU. We managed only 8 hits over the three game series, and we struck out 23 times. BU really doesn’t belong in the PL for softball

BU really doesn’t belong in the PL for softball They don't have great facilities or anything. They just are GOOD with great coaching and recruiting. |

Wow. Game 1 against Colgate, 12-0 run-rule loss. Game 2, 3-2 victory with Yurchick going a solid 6.2 innings. Let's see what tomorrow brings...

We gave up 21 runs in two losses to Bryant on Tuesday which brings our record to 10-31
Just what the doctor ordered with (maybe) a worse team than ours coming to Worcester today for a dh starting at 3 - it's Maine with a 3-32 record
