Pardon our brief surprise as the blog must make room on the Pirate bandwagon for another whole team - that's right, the Armstrong State softball squad knocked off No. 4-ranked and defending DII national champion North Georgia twice on Thursday to advance to the DII Spring Sports Festival in Denver. That's right, the Pirates are bringing THREE teams to Colorado to compete for a national title. There are six sports hosting DII Championships in Denver and the Pirates will have teams in half of them. This is the third trip for softball to the DII Championships in the last four seasons - and the first time that head coach Ted Evans and the Pirates will get a chance to compete in the DII Spring Sports Festival.
Other than tennis, only one other Armstrong State team has experienced the DII Spring Sports Festival - men's golf was a participant in the very first DII Spring Sports Festival in Orlando in 2004.
So bear with us as we re-vamp the blog a little bit to add a little softball content, and figure out how to bring you coverage of not one, not two, but three Pirate teams ready to storm Denver next week!
