Curt mentioned something about a new practice field for the team, but I didn't hear much. Next to the baseball field? The team needs to practice on grass for the outfielders.

often times offense can lag behind pitching, but geez the bats were not good last weekend except for one game.

Hopefully it’s just a case of being young, getting acclimated to the season and facing a new arm for the first time all year. You can hit off of live pitchers all offseason from your own team/coaches, but it’s different to face a new face standing in the circle who you have never faced before. Give it time and a few more weeks. If the bats aren’t starting to come alive after a few weeks, then it’s time to be worried.

It also doesn’t help when you have to fill the 3 hole in the lineup. It takes time to figure out your role in the lineup, especially losing your All-American. It makes opposing teams pitch to your lineup differently.

RE: 2018 Dukes Softball
After digging early holes of 5-2 and 7-3, the Dukes scored 3 in the 6th to trim the lead against host, Campbell, 7-6...and then, have just got 2 SAC FLY runs in the top of the 7th to take an 8-7 lead heading to the bottom of the last.

Let's go Dukes!

Looks like the weather will be great for their trip. Late next week, the Dukes depart for 8 days of games in Hawaii. Nice!

I wonder if it's too late to apply as an assistant (to the) coach for the softball Dukes this year?

Dukes looking to move to 8-2 on the season (and then 9-2 hopefully later this morning against Western Carolina).

RE: 2018 Dukes Softball
Good Gals have won 6 straight since returning from Mexico with a 4-game sweep at Jacksonville. 4-1 over Penn State and 2-0 over Western Carolina today. Kinda quietly sitting at 8-2 now. Good start to the season.

They play again Friday against Cal out in Hawaii (11am local time, 4pm ET). 11 games in 8 days out in Honolulu. What a great way to spend your spring break. Competition will test the Dukes much more out there. We should have a much better feel for what kind of team Coach LaPorte has when they return.

First 21 games away from home.

We split with Long Beach state (lost in extra innings to them) earlier in the year.

They are 13-1 and almost ranked. Only loss was to us.

Good stuff.

Schedule coming up in Hawaii...

Cal is also 13-1 going into 2 games today on the west coast.

UTEP will likely be 9-7 after beating Portland State at home later today.

EZU is 6-9. (lost all 5 games at home this weekend at their invitational...no big names there...St. Francis twice, Ball State twice, Canisius once) We play the Bucs twice out in Hawaii.

Longwood is 6-5. We play the Lancers twice out in Hawaii.

Hawaii is 6-6. We play the 'Bows twice.

BYU is 6-9. We play the Cougars twice.

Arkansas Pine Bluff is 3-3 with 1 game today and 1 tomorrow before heading out to Honolulu.

So, on record alone, it looks like the opener against Cal will be the Dukes' toughest game.
