And we beat them again with 6 walks, 3 WP, and tightened things up to plunk only one batter. 5 walks, 1 WP, and 0 HBP this afternoon is an improvement. And keep in mind that all those stats don't even count wild pitches and passed balls with nobody on base. Control issues have been a significant issue for us so far, win or lose.

You can't win walking batters and throwing wild pitches, not sure why it's -- gdot Feb 14, 2026 at 05:28 PM ET

In fairness she was our only healthy arm and she pitched good enough to win -- Hokie_Forester Feb 14, 2026 at 05:33 PM ET

Also a few gloves went rock hard a few inopportune times. -- laphroaig Feb 14, 2026 at 07:41 PM ET
