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

Magna Vista High School 🏫 (1:24)

Tough call πŸ“ž on this one….

M-V has Cavalier baseball ⚾️ and Boys Soccer ⚽️ 4:00 & 6:00

Fort Defiance is hosting Alan Knight and his Lady Panthers in a #4 – #5 match-up in Softball at 6pm.

Being that it’s Kevin Burress Day, the question is, what would Kevin do ?

84Β° at First Pitch….

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

We are just moments away from the two greatest words in all of Sports – Play Ball !
First Pitch at 2:03 pm

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.

Redlands win game 2, 9-7…

It’s raining 🌧 here in Fayetteville, so it’s a good time for some updates… it must be raining 🌧 in the Shenandoah Valley too.

PageΒ  County High School Junior Varsity Softball team captured the Bull Run District regular season crown πŸ‘‘ and was set to play Central – Woodstock in hopes of adding a tournament title to the trophy πŸ† case. But for the third straight day, the game has been washed out.

Today is the final day for any JV competition, so the younger Lady Panthers will have to settle for just one title this season.

In regards to the varsity tournament in the Bull Run, they have made the decision to eliminate the semi-final round and hopefully play the championship game next Tuesday.

Region play starts Thursday, so Tuesday is the last chance for the CentralΒ  versus Page County tilt to be played.

Strasburg is the tough luck team in this equation because the Rams 🐏 were right on the heels of the top two.

To show how tight things are in the Bull Run, Strasburg is on pace to receive a better seed in the Region.
