I saw a post by Oklahoma Softball today with their ‘24 schedule. Miami plays in Norman on March 1.
Season starts tomorrow (Friday 2/9/24) in Elon, NC.
Miami is slated to play:
Friday 2/9 9:30 AM vs. Evansville
Friday 2/9 2:30 PM vs Elon
Saturday 2/10 2:30 PM vs. App State
Saturday 2/10 5:00 PM vs. App State
Sunday 2/11 Noon vs. Evansville
Elon game will be streamed on Flosports:
Oddly, Miami travels to Evansville next Saturday.
Doubleheaders at Evansville this weekend:
Sat 2/16/24 1:30 PM vs. Austin Peay
Sat 2/16/24 4:00 PM vs. Evansville
Sun 2/17/24 11:00 AM vs. Austin Peay
Sun 2/17/24 1:30 PM vs. Evansville
I do not see any link to video coverage on Evansville’s website.
Those games with AP must be add-ons. They weren’t on the original schedule. After the first weekend it looks like she picked up the arms we needed to get us back to being a shut-down defense again.
Saturday games cancelled for weather because some genius decided to try to schedule a tournament in Evansville in February.
Currently T34 with 2 votes in the NFCA poll, T36 with 2 votes in the USA Softball poll after the first week of games.
We’re about to run rule Austin Peay, up 14-2 in the 5th. Both teams came in 4-0.
14-4 final in 5 innings. We only had 8 hits, but 6 were homers.
Game 2 with Aces about to start. Temp in Evansville is very close to that in Columbia , SC right now.
We trailed 5-4 after 5 innings, but scored 5 in the 6th and 2 more in the 7th to beat Evansville 11-5. Miami now 6-0.
69 runs scored through 6 games.
Resisting the temptation of making a junior high joke, this offense is impressive.
The next 4 games will be a step up in competition and should test our new pitching staff: UConn,Ole Miss, Clemson, and Oklahoma.
At Clemson and Norman - after one more game today at Evansville
Final game at Evensville in the books. 13-0 RedHawks run rule win after 5 innings. One hit by Aces. They’re probably thanking God and Greyhound we’re gone.
I know Evansville isn’t good, but wow, looks like we could be in for another special season.
It looks like it’s down to 17 undefeated teams.
Miami is at 32 with 6 votes in the NFCA poll and still T36 with 2 votes in the USA Softball poll. Clemson is #9 in both polls. Ole Miss isn’t receiving any votes, but they’ve won 9 in a row since losing their opener to BYU.
And Louisiana just dropped out of the Top 25. We play them in Norman.
82-20
