I am also watching Duke-UNC. The UNC pitcher in the 5th
is afraid of getting anything above the ankle. And when she does, she induces a ground ball. So ...do it more. The problem is that the UNC first baseman is slo slow to get the ball out of the glove and throw. A Duke runner at second moved from 2nd to 3rd when 3rd or SS threw a grounder to first but the 1st baseman was so slow. Then another hit went to 3rd who threw to first. The player at 3rd went home....To be fair, the runner was likely going to score...but the first baseman took forever.......
Then Duke hit a HR....maybe that is why the pitcher tries so hard to roll the ball to the catcher - i kid.

She realized she was never beating out Chatfield so she left.
Would be nice to have her bat, though.
