Softball scores never in the newspaper

I have a real problem that I never see any of Pitt's softball scores in the Trib or PPG. I realize they are not a great team, but win or lose - post the scores!!!
 
Appreciate seeing a new poster supporting our Olympic teams. I agree that softball is not a great team when measuring solely by wins and losses but would add the caveat "yet". The talent level is growing quickly with three more top-flight additions coming next year. The bar to success got raised real high real quick with the move to the ACC but we've got great coaches and they'll figure it out. More fan support and some publicity would help a lot. Thanks again for your post.
 
The question is, is it the SID not getting the scores to the papers or is it the papers unwillingness to devote space to the scores?
 
I would think.....

that it isn't on the papers. The PG publishes college baseball and softball scores every day. They actually do have the Pitt softball scores in there sometimes (last weekend they had the scores for all three games against Georgia Tech in the PG), but no where close to all the time. I think it's obvious that when they get the scores they publish them, when they don't get them they don't go searching out for them.
 
Re: I would think.....

If it is on the SID office, it is flat out unacceptable.
