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.

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.
