True dat! If you think about it, that is mainly what happens in most

defeats is the pitcher walks too many on base, and a stupid bloop hit will drive in runs or a bomb, and if you look over Emma's collegiate career, it was those multiple run homeruns, or bloops that beat her. Solo shot homeruns didn't usually beat her. A dominate collegiate pitcher that won a lot of games over her four seasons at VT. She is now a pro, facing some of the best players in the world. Like was said by the announcer, all are professionals, but you will take your lumps, no matter what your name is, or how much you are paid! Canady faced it in the WCWS final, and she is in the million dollar queen category. That's why sports are so fun to watch, there are always upsets at all levels of sports. I am a sports nut and love watching most sports. Go Hokies!

Doesn't matter if it's true because most batters fail 60% to 70% of the

You need location to throw strikes. That’s the point. If you’re throwing

Location means strikes - right left high low.
