Sitting there in real time, I wasn't sure why they didn't walk Elon Butler. She was already 2-2 with a homer and an RBI single. Right-handed batter against left-handed Maz. Walk her, next batter up was a lefty who was 0-3 (and it turned out Maz carved her up).
Pitching coach came out to visit Maz before Butler's at bat, and they still decided to pitch to her.
Just didn't make sense...

Coach probably wants Mazzarone to pitch in those situations. Itâs the only way they learn.

The next pitch after the mound visit, she mi**** the ball and ended up getting a bloop hit that fell right behind first.
Not saying that walking her wasn't the right move, but it looked like they had a plan to attack her but she got lucky.

should have reverted back to the 4-4 tie and called it a day (ducks). J/K of course, at least we fight until the end.
