It’s about CLUTCH pitching and hitting

We had pitching that had proven to be good enough (see uva & Duke games) to get us to Supers if they were a) healthy and b) clutch enough to hit their spots at the right times in the right games Our offense actually let us down in the last 5 games aside from one magic inning vs a team we had no business trailing 6-1 We have great hitters but so far they’ve not proven to be able to rise to the biggest of occasions (key moment vs FSU, runners on vs LSU) in postseason like we saw from UCLA, Texas, Bama, TT who time and again extended or won games with huge moment hits or HR late ** Edited by hokiepro at 6/2/2026, 7:00:33 AM

Your answer is in ERA. You need 2 elite pitchers. TxTech 2.16; TX 2.40.

We don't have an elite pitcher or batter(s)

Situational depth. Did you see the way they were just plugging players in

From what I can see its two-fold: pitching and ability to hit high quality

I think there are a few things. The obvious is consistent pitching.
