We are one day closer to the start of the D1 season. Don’t think we’re stopping to celebrate after our 800th episode. Show #801 focuses on the NFCA Leadoff Classic and two teams who will be in the spotlight. First, we journey to Clemson to chop it up with Head Coach John Rittman. His Tigers made it to Super Regionals in 2023 and look ready for that breakthrough to Oklahoma City in 2024. He talks about their season opening slate, his reigning Player of the Year Valerie Cagle, and many more topics. After that, we travel to Virginia for our chat with Liberty Head Coach Dr. Dot Richardson. She discusses the Flames’ new home in Conference USA and shares some news with Eric. Note, the interview took place prior to MLB Network’s announcement. We then look at MLB Network’s coverage of the Leadoff Classic along with it’s significance for the sport of softball. Victor wraps up the show with two big announcements; one about our next guest and one regarding his weekend plans.
