On the mound, Jazzy Francik leads the staff with 64 innings thrown and an ERA of 1.75.

Virginia Cavaliers

Not only have the Cavaliers had an interesting non-conference start, taking down Arkansas, Ohio State, and Michigan, but they’ve won both ACC series so far against North Carolina and Georgia Tech.

Courtney Layne and Julia Cuozzo have been of much help on the mound to senior Eden Bigham. Bigham picked up her eighth win of the season in the series finale against Georgia Tech, allowing just one run on six hits with four walks and seven strikeouts.

As for the offense, Macee Eaton and Bella Cabral lead the way with nine home runs each and batting averages over .400. Eaton now has 42 RBIs on the season and recorded her 14th multi-RBI game against Georgia Tech.

Eaton keeps the Hoos rolling!

Duke Blue Devils

The Blue Devils appeared to be a strong contender during the Shriners Children’s Clearwater Invitational when they knocked off Texas A&M, LSU, and Oklahoma State, but then went on to lose big time at the Mary Nutter Classic to Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas A&M, and UCLA.

Since then, they’ve lost to East Carolina, but found some rhythm in conference play after taking the series against Virginia Tech. Aside from Cassidy Curd, redshirt freshman Ava Bradshaw has stepped up greatly and tossed four scoreless innings of relief to clinch the series on Saturday.

The offense had been highlighted by Tyrina Jones, who launched her second grand slam of the season against the Hokies, and D’Auna Jennings, Aminah Vega, Jess Oakland, and Layla Lamar.

Surprised this ball didn’t catch fire off the bat at 85 mph 😳 https://t.co/co9X8Yl2WE pic.twitter.com/adqQroQqNm
