We have a number of folks involved with the Lady Cavaliers Softball program that would be just as happy, if not more happy, to be cheering on a son at Bill Worrell Field across the Boulevard.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, but know that you will still find Travis Leath and me at a softball game !
So, when Travis mentioned that he had tickets 🎟 to three games in Durham next month, I immediately thought about the number of times he went to a ball diamond 💎 for no other reason than to scout a future opponent for CCHS. Yes, here’s an opportunity to return the favor for the Man who happily shared his Kiddo ( Emma ) with us across her four years on The Hill.
Full disclosure, I could have mailed this one in because I have been watching softball at the park for the past nine years because it is the home park for Duke University Women’s Softball. We have only been playing the sport for nine years now.
Athletes Unlimited Softball League just expanded, going from having teams playing on one neutral field to having a handful of teams spread across the United States. I am pleasantly surprised that Duke University and the city of Durham made the cut ✂️ on such a short list.
The stadium is located on the East Campus, a few miles from Cameron Indoor and Wallace Wade 🏈🏈🏈. Every other sport except softball and Field hockey 🏑 play in a very tight area on the main campus. Logistics of the deal on the land is a part of the story that doesn’t fit here.
Love ❤️ the fact that marketing went with a regional name – Carolina Blaze! UNC and NC State are just a few miles from our campus, and while you are buying a ticket 🎟 from Duke, it helps that it is Carolina.
If your visit is designed to include Cameron Indoor and The Chapel, allow plenty of time ⏲️ to make the short drive 🚗 over.
Let’s talk 👄 tickets 🎟 and seats. The park has a very limited number of permanent seats 💺 and they sell for $32.00 each
Everyone else pays $22.00, and you are welcome to bring your own chair 💺 to sit in or just a blanket to plop down on.
Bringing it full circle 🔵, Travis Leath and I are cut ✂️ from the same cloth. It’s not about us. It’s about making a difference in the lives of others and we use our knowledge of the sport to do it !
Brother, enjoy my second favorite home softball park and know that us softball junkies need to stick together ❤️
PS – this Karlyn Pickens kid in the circle 🔵, she’s legit ! There is my scouting report…
Portland hit a 2-run bomb 💣 in the top of the third that quite possibly is still rolling !
Travis Osborne wants to go all Damdy Don Meredith, singing, ” Turn out the Lights” !
11-2 is your final score !
Temp remained the same, even after the sun 🌞 went down.
