Don't they happen pretty much to some level more times than not? Is your feeling that VT must make optimal decisions just about all the time? In hindsight this was a lot like the Miami and Syracuse football teams. The horrible pitching conditions in the top of the 6th got us runs. The deteriorating pitching conditions and to me the heaviest rain in the bottom of the 6th made it worse. Emma Lemley was the best we have and she could not get the grip on the ball necessary to throw a strike. Clemson knew it. Then the top of the 7th, is sure seemed the rain was less and they did a whole lot of work pouring the kitty litter out there. So IIWII, we got the worst pitching conditions at the worst time. To me it is that simple.
