Would it be possible to properly celebrate Kevin Burress Day without some Softball ? I think not, so stop #2 is the D3 World Series in Salem !

#8 seeded Rowan versus #1 seed and undefeated Virginia Wesleyan University in the opening game of a week long celebration of the sport of softball in the Roanoke Valley.

The Marlins have rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning but their rally comes up short at 1:18

Yes, the D1 College World Series is getting underway out in Oklahoma City, and eight teams are set to battle for the crown πŸ‘‘ but we have eight teams doing the same right here in the Roanoke Valley.

$50.00 will get you a pass for the week, and the price drops to $30.00 if you are a senior citizen. A great deal of quality Softball for a fair asking price and parking is free of charge!

Game 1 is in the Books πŸ“š and the grounds crew is working hard to prepare the field for game #2, Redlands versus Linfield in the 4 versus 5 match-up.

The Marlins will have a long road back now, but the beauty of a double elimination event is that you get to keep playing after your first setback.

2:01 has been announced as the start time for game 2….

Options for the next stop βœ‹οΈ on Kevin Burress Day are
