How many DP did we hit into this series and how many has Duke hit into?
Duke constantly is advancing runners, whether it be by tagging up or stealing a base or taking an extra base on a throw from the outfield. We were facing a ground ball pitcher and we never tried to steal second to get out of the DP. Paterson were screaming for a PH when Rogs came up with the bases loaded and one out. Problem is that she was already substituted for earlier in the game. She is hitting the ball much better this year so why PH for her on her first chance to hit?
Also the force at home was the call that should have been challenged not whatever call it was in the first inning.
