\"MeganToday was a good day for JMU softball. In fact it, you could say it was a Megan Good day. (ed. note: please pretend you didn’t read that sentence and we’ll pretend we never wrote it.<\/em>) The team won, because that’s what it does. This particularly victory was especially sweet because it came as a result of sophomore pitcher Megan Good’s perfect game though. That’s right. For the second straight season a JMU softball pitcher has tossed a perfect game. Last year it was Jailyn Ford’s turn. Today, Megan Good had the honors, striking out five and not allowing a single base runner in the five inning 8-0 win over Drexel.<\/p>\n

The win was the 7th ranked Dukes’ 37th on the season, agains only 3 losses. Amazingly enough, the Dukes have stormed to that record despite playing only 6 of their 40 games in the friendly confines of JMU’s Veterans Memorial Park. Going anywhere and everywhere to take on, and beat, all foes is how you crash the Top 10 party as a mid-major ladies and gentlemen.<\/p>\n

The Dukes now enter the stretch run of the regular season with 6 of their 8 remaining games at home. Then it’s onto the CAA tourney, before hopefully hosting a few more games in the NCAAs. With arms like those of Megan Good and Jailyn Ford in the circle, this team could go a long way.<\/p>\n
