what message does that send to Rohs? To PH for her so early in the game takes every other decision for her out of your hands. Rohs is our best defensive SS and we needed her in the game for her defense. If the PH came with the bases loaded assume a hit occurs and we still score 2 runs and the top of the order comes up with 2 runners on and only 1 out. As for my comment about advancing runners. Every time we hit into a DP second base was open and the pitcher was refusing to through anything up in the strike zone. Basically ensuring that we would hit a ground ball. We never tried to steal second base. On time Duke was playing a severe shift such that we hit into a 5-in, 5-3 double play. CPD rarely will send runners, especially in games that we need to win with “small” ball philosophy because of how the other team is pitching us ** Edited by bushartbs525 at 3/15/2026, 2:22:18 PM
