First spring game is underway. Congrats to JAD, DD looks like the staff ace.

All 4 pitchers saw circle time yesterday, so we will see how it works out. DD is fight throw some hip issues, but hopefully will be 100% by next weekend with some PT.

Kat Huey gets the start for this afternoon's game vs. Michigan State. :)

EDIT: Huey finishes off Michigan State for win #2, and records the first complete-game shutout win in Duke history!! :D

I had the pleasure of witnessing this in person while sitting next to a very nervous Jad and Mrs Jad.

She was totally awesome.

This team appears to be exceeding early expectations. Amelia and Kat looked impressive in the circle last night. Kat with the impressive bomb to CF!

We have not played any softball power houses, but we seem to be able to hold our own against average teams, especially when we play lighs-out on defense, which we did last night against Purdue.

Really liked the 3rd base transfer. That girl can play.

ACC is not real strong. FSU is but you said you don't play them. Everyone else should be beatable. You have the pitching to hang in there and the batters will get better as they get experience. Bit of luck falls your way you have a chance to be top 3.

I see she is a power hitting star as well now...


DOes that add 'First (2) HR's in Duke program history' to the accomplishment list?
