“I did want the ball today,” Good said. “It was a really big game. They’re a great offensive hitting team. My goal was to just go out and attack them.”

Good (31-2) struck out 10 and walked two.

“She threw a lot of rise balls,” Longwood senior Emily Murphy said. “She was a little quicker than a lot of the pitchers we see in the Big South. I don’t think we could catch it early enough so we were hacking up there.”

After hitting 47 home runs in 50 games in the regular season, an average of 0.94 per game, the Dukes belted five in their three NCAA region games (1.67 per game), including the two Sunday.

The Dukes drew 1,691 fans Sunday and 4,956 for the three days.

Sunday, fans lined up hours before the first pitch, despite overcast skies and, later, rain, to see JMU play.

“Seeing the line out at our ticket box three hours before our game, that’s unbelievable,” Field said.

JMU erected temporary bleachers in the outfield, fans packed the seats and stood in the concourses, and some sat out on a grassy hill beyond right field, outside the complex, taking in the game.
