Softball/Baseball can be the most frustrating sport

What other sport can one do well but with bad results? i.e. hit the ball often and/or hard but if its right to a defender then it's an out. GT had luck on their side and hit the gaps and over the fence. Me thinks coach was saving our ace pitcher for FSU which may have been a bad idea in hindsight. But we did beat GT in all our in-season games. (Anyone else hate single-elimination tournaments like me?) When Lemley did pitch she tried to overwhelm them with speed and they were ready. She needs to work on off-speed pitches ala GT that had us on our heels all night. And again, GT was VERY motivated and go momentum early and kept it going. Perhaps this loss will propel us in the NCAAs. ** Edited by BigDaddyHokie at 5/10/2024, 10:13:36 PM

Single elimination is the most exciting but absolutely the worst way

Yep. I’d hoped we’d play freely knowing win or lose vs GT

But Lemley is certainly capable of pitching more than one day

That was my thought as well. But who knows? What if Lem came out and

Actually, I was surprised when I saw Lyndsey in the circle.**

I don't think you'll see double-elimination in the ACC tourney again
VTChip 05/11/24 10:27 AM ET
It’d be smart IMO to just take top 4 of the big conferences and play a 4

All about $$, more teams mean more $$ for local economy

Of course, stealing a bid is easier in single elimination
Hockeydad 05/11/24 11:32 AM ET
Fixed it. Thanks **

Lemley only gave up a solo HR. She was fine except 1 pitch **
hokiepro 05/10/24 11:28 PM ET
Yep. But too late to make a difference in the outcome.**
