Not too stressed about 1 game or even 2 this weekend

We are a young team in reality with most of the lineup being freshmen and sophomores. Softball is a game of failure, so hitting .350 or over .400 isn't sustainable. It will be about the body of work as the hitters and pitchers gain some consistency. In reality, these games are opportunities for pitchers like MAzzarone to work on what she improved on over the off-season and then to see how reliable the new players in new roles are. ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 3/3/2025, 11:27:42 PM

hokiepro • 03/02/25 11:29 PM ET
Yes, they are in some polls. I'm up in the air on them. They beat a really
Hokie_Forester • 03/02/25 07:32 PM ET
They’ll compete well in Big South **
hokiepro • 03/02/25 06:20 PM ET
Radford has a much better coach now than they’ve had in quite a while.
RJHokie • 03/02/25 06:18 PM ET
Yeah, so we can poach more Cori McMillans. :-)**
laphroaig • 03/02/25 06:21 PM ET
True,.......
2hhoop3 • 03/02/25 09:30 PM ET
Yeah, that’s kinda interesting that she wasn’t highly recruited
RJHokie • 03/02/25 06:58 PM ET
We need to consistently have more than 5 hits
VAHokie89 • 03/02/25 05:40 PM ET
Starting lineup hitless
VT954 • 03/02/25 06:53 PM ET
Starting lineup hitless? What game did you watch?**
GCHokieof91 • 03/03/25 07:33 AM ET
?**
VT954 • 03/03/25 02:46 PM ET
That box score says our starters got 5 hits**
GCHokieof91 • 03/03/25 03:58 PM ET
Pete's never liked small-ball. Imo, that cost us winning our SuperR vs Fla
pharlap_99 • 03/02/25 10:09 PM ET
Amen to that 100%! Bombs are great, but table sitters are better!
PokieHokie • 03/02/25 08:55 PM ET
Our hitters are taught to have a slight upper cut when swinging in
Italian Stallion • 03/02/25 10:21 PM ET
That was my comment. Letting a lesser opponent hang around only gives them

VAHokie89 • 03/02/25 06:02 PM ET
Very well said. I’ve seen this team play EVERY game this season.
VTChip • 03/02/25 06:18 PM ET
I liked Pete working on bunts and aggressive base running.
TomTurkey • 03/02/25 06:41 PM ET
Speed kills! **
PokieHokie • 03/02/25 08:57 PM ET
Yeah they’re definitely talented & fun to watch
hokiepro • 03/02/25 06:22 PM ET
I agree. Just nice to not have to worry about a game like today's. **
Hokie_Forester • 03/02/25 06:17 PM ET
Don't want to worry about games like today? Don't be a fan. Games happen.**
laphroaig • 03/02/25 06:20 PM ET
I agree games happen but I'm not the only one that looks at Radford and
Hokie_Forester • 03/02/25 07:15 PM ET
Knew you will always be a Hokie. Radford is under new and exceptional
laphroaig • 03/02/25 07:39 PM ET
The coaching by Coach ***an was exceptional today!
PokieHokie • 03/02/25 09:06 PM ET
Agree w your sentiment, but 2 clunkers in 3 days would’ve been a bit much.
HolidayInnHokie • 03/02/25 06:49 PM ET
Hang in there Holiday. See you at TSP?**
laphroaig • 03/02/25 07:41 PM ET
Yes sir, later in the month. **
