One key will be NOT helping out Curd the way the hoos did Mazz last night.
Mazz was great but the hoos terrible approach at the plate really helped. Note that all 14 K's were swinging; no backward K's. I'm not sure any of those 14 pitches were actually strikes. Curd, like Mazz lives (when she does) on being 'effectively wild'. We need to not to hack away out of the zone.

I'm thinking it will take at least 6 runs for either team to win.**
