#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.

Yes, the D1 College World Series is getting underway out in Oklahoma City, and eight teams are set to battle for the crown 👑 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 📚 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….

Oregon vs. California here in the long way from home 🏡 pairing.

Linfield dents the scoreboard in the bottom of the first with an RBI double. Now its 2-0…

Stolen base leads to a sound bite 🫦 ” Life in the Fast Lane ” – clever !!!

Centerfielder throws out the runner at first to end the rally. Great heads up play to save a third run from scoring. 25 minutes to play the first inning.
