Key quote for this board:

"this regional feels like a coin‑flip battle where execution under pressure will decide who survives". We can't give up extra bases. Have to limit free passes and WP/PB's. The offenses of the three other teams there aren't super. We need to challenge their hitters making them earn their way on and around the bases.

Our hitters need to step up and adjust quicker than they have recently as
