Vs the best pitcher in the regional in Maya Johnson. Our offense had a GREAT outing vs Johnson Besides vs top tier teams, Mazz has been just as effective (Stanford, FSU, Clemson) late in the season as Lemley. Those teams spend tons of scout time on Lemley. Mazz if she doesn’t walk more than 3 in about 5-6 innings (spread across innings) is very good too ** Edited by hokiepro at 5/17/2025, 6:55:05 AM

Hard to do that in a #2-#3 matchup because teams are pretty evenly matched** -- 133976Hokie May 17, 2025 at 07:42 AM ET

If walks are spread out instead of bunched together, they are no more -- laphroaig May 17, 2025 at 09:15 AM ET

Workload doesn't matter, it's how much she's pitched against the same team. -- vatechcowpatty May 16, 2025 at 11:21 PM ET
