Hopefully the Liberty game will be made up since it was a good game for each program SOS wise. It's relatively close.... Although making up non conference games does not seem to happen much during Covid.

Charlotte at the tail end of our schedule appears to be a solid game. They've had three relatively close losses to ranked teams. They could be a top team.

The ladies begin a double header today against a (what looks to be) decent 5-1 Stony Brook.

SB 1
JMU 0

Bottom of 2nd.

JMU stranded SB runners at 2nd and 3rd with one out.

Alissa Humphrey starting in the circle today.

Freshman out of FL was Ranked #73 recruit in class of 2020 by Softball America.

Perhaps the key to the next 3 years for JMU softball.

Looking decent so far. If she could only just get some run support.

Bottom 3rd

Kate Gordon Homers giving the Dukes their first hit and run.

Bottom 5

JMU breaking out to a little lead.

"My guess" is only one loss get's JMU a top 16 regional host. Maybe, but doubtful with two losses.

Not a lot of room for error, with a very weak schedule.

Allisa pitching well for the Dukes. Control has not been a strong point in her first two outings.

How about these stats from High School last year for Allisa:

Quote:Threw 106 strikeouts in 47 innings finishing with a 0.00 ERA after seven games in the 2020 shortened season

2.25 Strikeouts per inning with ZERO POINT ZERO ZERO ERA.

That's decent.

JMU wins first game of DH 4-1

With 1 vote, and #38 ranking - barely hanging on.

It's a shame the game versus #31 Liberty was canceled.

Hopefully we can pull a long winning streak that slowly moves us up.

JMU wins game 2, 7-1. Alexander with the win.

Rhode Island tomorrow.

Gotta keep winning.

Alissa "might" be our #1 starter this year. We'll have to see how the next month goes.

Seems like a solid 1-2 pitching combination.

This team will win a lot of games this year. Bats need to breakout.....

Double header today against an 0-6 Rhode Island.

1) noon
2) 2:30


Obviously very winnable games.

Both are free, but here's link to first game -

Dukes run rule URI in 5 innings today in the first game 11-1

Second game

17-0 in bottom of 3rd

Definitely a

Looks like Alissa Humphrey threw her 1st no hitter as a Duke in 20-0 win in 2nd game. Seems to be a great pickup by Coach Laporte.

Quick Hits
The Dukes set a new single game record for most runs scored, besting the previous record of 17 runs in the victory over George Washington on March 25, 2009.
JMU set new single-game records for home runs (8), total bases (40) and RBIs (19) in the day's second game.
All starters scored in the 20-0 victory against URI.
Alissa Humphrey is the second freshman to throw a no-hitter at JMU, Megan Good ('19) was the first.
Kate Gordon extended her career home run record to 54.

Those are some crazy stats. To hit 20 runs (and EIGHT HOMERUNS) in 5 innings is total annihilation.

Good chance Allisa becomes #1 this year, or at least co #1 in the circle.

Pretty impressive stats for a freshman. Early sample size, but she has the best pitching stats to date......

I'm going to go out on a limb and say CCA ROW, POW, ROY.
