What's this?

Nice Roanoke Times story on Emma Lemley


A couple of nice comments in the story:

“Lemley's riseball has been clocked at 65-67 mph. She also throws a curveball and change-up.

Tech coach Pete D'Amour said Lemley will see action in the circle for the Hokies next spring.

"I have high expectations for her," D'Amour said. "She'll pitch next year, and she will be better in the spring [of 2022] than she is right now. She's got enough right now to compete, and I think she's going to be a handful by the time the [2022] season rolls around."

Emma committed in the 8th grade before the NCAA changed the recruiting rules, so hats off the Scot Thomas for landing her and Coach D’Amour for keeping her.

The story goes on to say there’s a lot of similarities between Emma and Kelly Richard. No pressure, kid. 😄

Welcome to Hokie Nation!
