and if there is any blame for their loss today, I would have to put it on the HC for pitching the hero of the season 3 straight games in 3 straight days. We have more than just one pitcher that has helped this team to have the season that they have had, and Rittman only used one in Valerie Cagle. Plus it was coach Rittman's job to instruct Cagle to make Duke pitch to her, or just take the walk, and Cagle struck out back to back at pitches that would have been called balls, and it would have put a lady Tiger on base, if Cagle hadn't chased all those terrible pitches!!!!!!!!!

The way Cagle pitched, I can't fault the decision

The bats just let them down. Logoleo smoked a ball right at the 2nd baseman with Oda on 1st and 0 outs. Considering how lucky Duke got to have any runners on in the 6th, and how unlucky Clemson got when tattooing a ball, you just have to shake your head sometimes. Luck is a part of it at times.

This team has nothing, nothing to be ashamed of.

She’s our best pitcher and gives us the best chance to win...

Duke has won 14 games in a row. They are a really good team, too.
The bats were cold the entire week. Let’s get them warmed up for the NCAA Tournament and see what can happen.
GOOO TIGERS!!!

Valerie Cagle was our best option and pitched phenomenally!!

She pitched a complete game, gave up 2 hits (one being the weak pop foul that spun fair and immediately died half way up the first base line), struck out 12 and only walked 2 . . . ONE INTENTIONALLY!!!
She showed the biggest heart in coming out in the Top of 7th to shut them down again!!!
I don’t know what this crowd expects from a starting pitcher, but give me these numbers every game and my team will win a huge percentage of our games. This game was all on our hitters.
Mattimore arguably had our best “@ bat” just before getting run over at first base. That is the approach we need from every hitter, every trip to the plate.

Wait, you're serious?

She gave up a single run in those 3 games, and it came via a fluky foul-ball-spin-fair shot.
Our bats were cold. Thats what did us in.

I can only hope this post was in jest. She allowed one freakin’ run and got beat 1-0 on a clunker single. Yea, she has a bad at bat in the 6th but she’s not a robot or perfect. Maybe you’ve not watched a lot of softball but a kid can throw everyday in softball without it being a big deal. If you think anyone else on our roster would have shut out Duke I’d have to say you don’t know too much. Duke has been top 25 all year and has two legit pitchers. Can’t hit 160 something and win many tournaments at any level. Gotta hit next weekend and I’m sure we will.

SMH...she allowed 2 hits. No reason for VC

not to be on the mound...this isn’t baseball so the wear and tear is not the same. She gave up 1 run over 21 innings, who would have done better? This was a great game between 2 evenly matched teams. Blame this loss on our bats going ice cold.
Have to disagree on telling Cagle to take pitches...she could have tied it up with 1 swing and the back of the order was doing nothing. Again good game and hats off to Duke.

My only thought was with Cagle leading off the inning if they are willing to essentially walk her, you need to take it and them hope the next couple of hitters can manufacture a run. I have no problem whatsoever with her being given the green light. I think she just wanted to “make something happen” and it wasn’t her best at bat. That same mentality is what makes her so good. Again, the team didn’t hit much all week. 4 runs in 3 games just won’t win many tournaments. Not being critical, just realistic. I am more than thrilled by the showing this year. I think they can win a regional if they just hit like they have the majority of the season.

good thoughts. None of the late at bats were very good though. so it may not have mattered. Pitcher seemed to have us over matched
