Usually a limited fall schedule, couple of weekends against state schools.
Any word?

Yeah, I think it usually includes a game/scrimmage with UVA. It's usually hard to get any info on what happened in the games.....

I haven't seen anything from JMU sources and I checked several schools they would likely play and didn't see anything there either.

Are the fall exhibitions announced this early?

typically not.....it is usually late sept/oct.

it is just the softball/baseball equivalent to Spring Football. So they usually announce some sort of schedule a week or 2 prior. It does not garner near the interest as Spring Football.

Fall ball is great. You get to see all of the new players play in the games and there are no seating or parking problems. Starts middle of September.

That's what I was thinking as well in terms of timing. I had seen the baseball and softball teams' previous schedules, but usually those were alongside JMU Sports twitter posts talking about soccer, volleyball, and football.

FYI. Just picked up lefty speedster, Raegan Wall for ‘25. Ranked 76th in her class. Tall, long legs. Runs like a Gazelle. Saw a couple of stand up ITP home runs. Nice. I also like doubles that turn into triples. Covers a lot of ground in center. That’s probably the most important thing.

Not sure I've seen more softball footage on the net for a JMU softball recruit.

Link to an article on Raegan Wall and mental health. Take special note of the photo showing Reagan paying tribute to JMU via a helmet sticker honoring the recent JMU player who took her own life.

It appears JMU has recruited a very talented young player.

Apparently, she initially committed to Marshall.

Very nice and impressive news!

Someday it would be wonderful if Cici could return to JMU as part of the coaching staff.

Did it get re-scheduled due to the rain, I thought it was last weekend? I was going to go but then the raining weather changed my mind.

Quote:The James Madison softball team will take part in a slate of eight fall exhibitions against regional foes, Head Coach Loren LaPorte announced Wednesday afternoon.

JMU will open its fall season on Sep. 23, as the Dukes will take on Maryland and George Mason as part of a doubleheader at Veterans Memorial Park. The following week, the team will travel down I-81 to play two against Radford on Oct. 1.

The Dukes will return to Veterans Memorial Park Oct. 8, with a twin-bill set against Bridgewater and Mary Baldwin. JMU will wrap up its fall season on Oct. 21 with Virginia and Longwood.

Looks like our Dukes got a 2025 commit from a #rd Baseman/SS out of Michigan, Anna Zoet

Appears to be a great addition for Coach Laporte and company.
