Well our regular season has now come to an end and in some exciting fashion.  We have tied our wins to that of last years with 36.  So we are now 36-4!

On Tuesday our games got pushed to Sunday.  But on Thursday we had a double header at Brandice.  We swept them and put up a team total of 5 homeruns in the 2 games. 

Then on Saturday we swept Eastern Connecticut to give us at least a share o the LEC (Little East Conference) Regular season champs.  It was also senior day in which we celebrated our lone senior Kelli McCartin.  With the wins she couldn't have been happier!

On Sunday we got up at the crack of dawn to drive to Western Connecticut.  When we swept them we clinched the title of LEC regular season champs once again for the 5th year running.

THen Sunday night we had to drive to Eastern Connecticut to finish our tied game with Keene.  Although we lost the game, we didnt really lose anything else.  We are still 5 year running champs of the LEC conference.  And our LEC record is 13-1.  Not somehting to be truely upset about at all!

Practice yesterday was nice although it was hot!  Some of the girls have allergies on the team which makes everyone sneeze alot. 

We have practice today and its all about our hitting.  It will probably be a longer practice seeing as yesterdays was shorter but well see.

Tomorrow we play at 10am in the first round of the LEC tournament.  We play Southern Maine who will be gunning for us, as is with most other teams as well.  IT should be an exciting weekend!

GO RIC :)

Well this past week has been a little tough for RIC softball.  Last Thursday we suffered our first lost since Florida.  We had a 19 game win streak going and it all came to an end with a lost to Westfield State College.  It's actually kind of a funny story seeing as last year the same thign happened to us.  Westfield beat us last year to close off an 18 game win streak.  Next year will be different!  :)

We added 4 more wins after that loss to Westfield though.  Two games against Plymouth State and two more against UMass Boston.  This brings our overall record to 30-3-1. 

Yesterdays games at Western Connecticut got postponed to this Sunday at 1 because of the rain we got all day yesterday.  Tomorrow we play Brandice, at Brandice at 4.  We didn't play them last year so it will be a new experience for both teams.  Their coach came to one of our games earlier in the season so we'll see how she plays us.

Saturday is our senior day and we play Eastern Connecticut at 1.  Milky is our only senior this year so needless to say we are going all out for her :)  I'll post some pictures next time with out decorations for her :)

Then on Sunday we will play Western CT at Western to finish up our regular season play.  We want to break 40 wins this year too so we will really have to push along through this week of tough games.  We came close last year with 36 wins but this week we could tie it if we run the table... :)  Here we go!

GO RIC :)

Well, we keep adding onto our record.  We are now 25-2-1 :)  we are on a roll now.  We just won our games today 10-2 in 6 innings and 15-0 in 5 innings.  Hopefully this keeps going as the season starts to wind down.

For the rest of the week we have a double header at Westfield State on Thursday, a double header on Saturday at home vs Plymouth State and a double header make up games at UMass Boston on Sunday :)  Hopefully there are a lot more wins coming in the rest of the week :)

GO RIC :)

Well, we are now 18-2 overall and it hasn't stopped raining since last week.  Our Saturday games up at Keene got postponed to this Friday but I don't even know if we will be able to get those games in.  Supposodly their field can get swampy with a little bit of rain, and with the amount of rain we have gotten (and snow in NH) I can only imagine what their field looks like.

Tomorrow we are supposed to be playing Johnson and Whales University, but again with all of this rain who knows at this point.  If all of our games go off this week as planned, we will have to play 8 games this week.  Just like in FL, so I think we can manage but it's still a lot of games nonetheless.

On a high note we have 7 girls who are batting high .200 to high .400.  We are finally starting to hit the ball as a team! :)

Haha! I almost forgot, we played a joke on coaches on April Fools Day and it was so funny.  It consisted of the entire team (all 21 of us) going 35 mins late to practice, running through campus with all of our equipment from the previous days games, walking through the library to spy on coaches, and to top it all off, practice was kickball haha!  It was so funny.  We ignored the coaches and played kickball for practice.  Then they locked us on the field, but it was ok, at least they couldn't get the sprinklers turned on!  Haha
