Wouldn't it be nice if the basketball teams could do half so well.

They come back to win their second game against St. Joe's. Maybe Dayton will beat Fordham. GW has to beat both of those teams to win out.

Game two was a game of base running and less long ball. The bottom of the order produced.

First game Friday (later) starting at non is between Dayton and Fordham. The loser has to play us at 2:30. Hoping that gives an edge.

Then the Friday game 2 winner has to win both Saturday to take the title. Lange will probably start the game Friday and If wee can slip her in Weber will probably get an inning in relief. As we did in the second game Thursday.

For poetic justice, if we win the second game at 2:30 today, we get to Saturday and hoping for a win in game one on Saturday, There is rain possible for the start for game 2 on Saturday. A10 didn't play a rain out game last time and screwed GW and just awarded the title to Fordham for winning the regular season. GW is the current season champ on perc wins.

GW explodes in the bottom of the 6th for 8 runs to take an 8-1 lead. Fordham gets two runners on in the top of the seventh for nought. GW goes on to play tomorrow for the championship.

Well, lets see of our team can string some good offense together for two games tomorrow. Bullis may pitch for Dayton in the first game and she has been tough this week. GW hitters need to be focused when they face her. They need to stay away from bad pitches.

Took 9 innings but GW won the first game today against Dayton 3-2. Second game going on now (3:14 ET)

GW´s name will be called out for the first time ever at today´s selection show. Nearest regional venue is VPI followed by Kentucky. Some fans might even be able to attend. https://www.ncaa.com/news/softball/article/2021-04-29/division-i-softball-committee-announces-championship-hosts-sites

End the season #32 ranked per RPI. Hopefully they are ready and can make a run in the NCAA

Team is sent to Baton Rouge in a regional with LSU, Ooohh LaLa and McNeese St. Weather forecast for southern Louisiana is hot and muggy with a chance of thunderstorms and a 100% guarantee of free-flowing alcohol (actually, I have not checked but I am just assuming).

The team knows what it has t do because they just did it. Force the the pitchers to throw strikes and drive the ball to the fence; They w/lil catch the Tigers in game 1. And will have to find a way to survive a game 2. We will have fun watching -- good for recruiting.
