On Tuesday, I joined the Fast Lane with Ed Lane to discuss Liberty softball and baseball as both teams come down the stretch run of their respective seasons.
Our conversation centered around:
- How much do the spring 2026 Liberty Flames team accomplishments (Men’s Golf, Women’s Tennis, softball & baseball) show ‘the golden age of Liberty Flames athletics’ is still strong?
- How much of the struggles for the 2026 softball team have been due to super high expectations after the epic 2025 season when the Lady Flames reached Super Regionals for the first time in program history?
- Is this a ‘win to get in’ (the NCAA Tournament) trip to the CUSA Softball Tournament for Liberty?
- How pleasant of a surprise has year 2 of the Bradley LeCroy era been for Liberty Flames baseball?
