Davidson struggling early, going too far inside.
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
PSG in to pitch T3. Duke down 4-0.
Anyone wanker what’s happening to Deja Davis? Injured again?
Wow great comeback missed the 3 run HR by Jacobson.Saw the solo HR by Foreman.
Crabtree makes it 5-4!
Crabtree homers in the 6th, 5-4 Duke.

Jameson Kavel 8 strike outs. One more and its a Win for Duke Softball. First home game. Announcer says 714 days since they played on East Campus below the Bivins Building old WDBS radio station location. 1 out left Elon got a runner on. Everyone's a winner Baby thats for sure.
Duke wins 5-4. Elon probably better than they expected. Still think Duke is going to need Jala or Claire to step up this year and especially next year. Glad we have PSG back this year though.
Think I screwed up the pitcher. Payton St. George was the flamethrower with 8 strike outs.
Deja is playing today vs Army as DP (Designated Player). I see she played in only four of the previous 11 games, going 0-7. She's 0-1 so far today and remains hitless for the season. She was our best hitter last season with a .389 BA (as a 2nd Team All-American) so I'm not sure what's going on.
Edit: Deja is 1-2 thus far today.
4-0 Duke over Army in B5. Jela Wright is pitching well.
Run-rule win for Duke 8-0 in the 5th. No-hitter for Jela Wright.
Softball program should be a trajectory target for Women's Basketball. Duke is at the moment after 5 years great in Softball. DWBB is going backwards. No hitter well done Ms. Wright.
I think you meant to say that Coach Young is in her fifth season. She started as head coach for Duke in 2016 as the sport was launched at Duke and this is her fifth competitive season at the helm. It is a fit analogy for Coach Lawson and DWBB because she really is starting from scratch. Last year's cancellation due to covid was probably a welcome relief to give some more time for program development and recruiting. Obviously the product on the court this year is not up to Duke standards yet.
