Softball heads to Nashville this weekend to play in the Tiger Spring Classic hosted by Tennessee State. Two games Saturday and two games Sunday in some cold weather from the looks of it. Valpo should have a pretty solid squad - they come in 3-1 with a loss to UNI in the UNI Dome so far. Here is our schedule:
Saturday vs Valparaiso at 11:30am (ET)
Saturday vs Alabama A&M at 6:15pm (ET)
Sunday vs Valparaiso at 10:30am (ET)
Sunday vs Tennessee State at 3:00pm (ET)
Sycamores need to find a consistent #2 pitcher behind McCurdy. Would expect McCurdy to get a game with Valpo and the TN State game on Sunday.

Why are two pitchers needed? Thought one could pitch all day in softball?
