Looks that way. Also, as FYI, the JMU website says the CSU game starts at 2pm, but the CSU website says 2:30pm. It is all variable based on how long the earlier games go anyway I suppose.

Looks like they have clear weather in Charleston for the weekend.

Starting lineups are up on the live feed. Looks like JMU has three freshman starting in the season opener. LF Arnold (batting 2nd), 2nd Naujokas (batting 6th), C Gorden (batting 9th)

GOOOOOOOOOO DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKES!

Good strikes out the first Mizzou batter which now means she is on pace to record 1,260 strikeouts from the center circle this season. :>)

freshman, batting second, singled in her first at bat but then preceded to get thrown out at 2nd on the first pitch .......

ok, so i didn't recognize some of the names in the lineup, so i looked them up on the roster

the #5 hitter, Behan, she was a 2nd team all AMerican in HS. Didn't play all that much last year, but hopefully she is a breakout star for us this season

and the CF Brammer....I didn't realize she started 55 games in CF last year. But had only ONE at bat all year.

that's softball. She's not hitting today either. Just a fielder. Behan is DH'ing for her.

Dukes lead 1-0

still 2 on, 1 out in B3

Megan Good singles to make it 2-0, 3rd run was out at home.

going to T4, 2-0 Dukes

Don't know if anyone saw but #2 Auburn beat #1 Oklahoma last night and then lost to #13 Washington in extra innings. We play Auburn twice on 2/25 and 2/26 at their place.

runners on the corners with one out. Missouri is changing pitchers. still 2-0 bottom of the 4th.

6 Dukes hits through 3 1/3 so far. Great to see. Give Good any runs and normally it will be lights out.

Bury them, Dukes!!

base running errors costing us some runs.

i feel like that was a weakness last year too. need to be smarter on the bases.

could have wrapped this one up by now. 4 runs for Good is game over.

Getting thrown out at home on a passed ball is a base running error, but I wouldn't consider getting thrown out at home from the outfield with 2-outs a base running error, more like a calculated gamble that we lost on haha

There was 1 out and there was no throw from the outfield.

we had a CS too. Which yes, is an aggressive move which I'm ok with. But that's 3 runners out on the base paths in this game.

I was agreeing that getting thrown out at home was a base running error (which happened last inning. But was also stating that what happened in the 3rd inning (Good singling home one run but a second runner getting thrown out at home with two outs) I would not consider a base running error.

BOOM !!!!

3 run HR for Newton

6-0 Dukes

newton just homered bottom of 5th to go up 6-0!
