We've got a wild one here in Durham, folks.
Northern Kentucky and Michigan are tied 0-0 T6.
NKU threatening, with a runner on third and two outs. Storako on to pitch.
Some fun notes from recruiting today.
• The breeze was the MVP.
• The trend seems to be wearing gold hoop earrings. As a girlie who enjoys gold jewelry, respect.
• The player lead walk-up music did not miss. A lot of 2000s hits. Very millennial of them. FULL SUPPORT.
Just because your summer season is over, doesn’t mean I have to stop watching you play. Send me a list of the specific games you pitched in. I’ll go back and watch. This was a summer of technical difficulties. I am following you but I might have missed a few pitches.
I’m getting ready for September 1st. I know you are as well. If you’re a ‘22 pitcher interested in Friartown, email these things.

⚫️When you think Drake will release his album
Received an email from a PSA that included a P.S. saying when she thought Drake would release his album. I SCREAMED 😂. It was the energy I needed today.
Some of our players have been talking trash about how they are going take me yard when I throw batting practice in the fall. As Cam Newton said, “I’m getting tired of being humble now.” Do not let Coach Al get hot.
I thought I was in recruiting shape until I had to walk in front of everyone to pick up the team profile sheets. I fumbled. In my defense, it was windy, but it’s inexcusable. I should have better hands this far along in my coaching career.
I've seen a few teams post notification screenshots of the college coaches who watched their games. Do not assume we're not interested if you don't see our names. We're all approaching online recruiting differently.
Happy to announce our 2021 BIG EAST schedule set to begin on March 13! Stay tuned for any additional non-conference games added down the road.

This season was wild. I laughed. I cried. I loved. I wouldn’t change a thing. The people I took this journey with helped me grow every day and I’m thankful. Until next time, Go Friars.
A few of our players threw some shade at me for wearing a beanie to practice on a 55 degree day. Look, you sniffle and people look at you differently these days. I’m taking all necessary precautions.
SB: Blue Streaks Win!

I had to catch a few bullpens this week. I felt like such a cool kid when I dropped one knee. I was humbled real quick when our catchers told me I dropped the wrong knee.
The classes are quality! I might even take one. A few of our players said I still look like I’m in college. I think they are trying to gas me up so I don’t throw them change ups in BP.

I’m currently in our team GroupMe trying to convince them to play music that isn’t a mix of 30 to 45 second snippets of songs. It’s not going well. Need back up.
I didn’t go into the snack bag but someone offered me snacks from the snack bag. Technically, I didn’t go into the snack bag. I am not taking questions at this time.
I will not go into the snack bag today.

I volunteered to put a playlist together for practice tomorrow. Undecided on what way I want to go with it. All I know is Return of the Mack will make an appearance. They’re not ready for this heat.

reason why there is no better place to be than Friartown! Our outstanding facilities include Glay Field, as well as the new Ruane Friar Development Center which is home to our Innovation Lab, nutrition center and athlete fueling station.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with some amazing women throughout my time in sports. Thank you for helping me grow, reminding me to share my gifts and to lead with love. Words will never be able to express how grateful I am. You paved the way.

PSA’s, remember to include the time zone when sending and posting your game schedules. A little detail that makes a big difference when we’re trying to plan our days around watching games.
I woke up this morning, thought about all the softball that wouldn’t be played and cried. I’m not going to make a joke about mellowing with my age because it’s sad when there is no softball.
The real feel in Providence is 105. I decided I wasn’t going to be soft and run outside. I won’t go into details but let’s just say, it was a humbling experience.
It took 11 days for me to crave one of those fun sized snickers. I almost caved but then I saw a quote online that said “Snacks don’t eat snacks.” So clutch. God’s got my back.
Masks aren’t that bad. There are so many stylish ones now! Our school colors are black, white and silver. I’m looking forward to adding a pop of color to my outfits in the fall.

This is how ride or die Friartown is... I went out for a run in a Valpo Football t-shirt and some guy chirped me. Excuse me sir, I’m a VU alum. PC doesn’t even have football.
I spent the last half hour getting my 6ft long iPhone charger out of the vacuum. Where do I make an appointment with the universe to talk about the sorcery I just experienced.
Your gift today will help PC continue to provide an educational experience honoring the resilient spirit of our Friar family. No amount is too small! 🔗
Me pretending to be shocked when a few PSA’s emailed saying “The streaming service our team uses hasn’t been working because too many people are on the server.”
I didn’t drop any player profile sheets this weekend, and it was significantly windier than last weekend. A lot of people at Field 1 did see me drop all my grapes, though.
