Not sure if anybody mentioned this. Every time
after a pitch that the UNC catcher pointed back at the pitcher, the umpire called a strike. Every time. He was being manipulated.

he had already called strike verbally.

good and consistent tonight. And I believe that the umps in softball call “strike” verbally to the batter and catcher and then do that infernally late strike hand gesture. So that catcher heard the ump call those strikes which is why she pointed.

always run the play back through your head before actually making a call.

Mazz struck out Leggette twice in the top of the 7th but were called balls. Honestly one of them was not even close to a ball.

. . the later innings. Hence the walks and HR's.

Freels is known for having a very small strike zone, and he did again last night. Doesn’t necessarily explain why he brought Mazz in to close out the 7th, though. That mystified me. We know Mazz often struggles in her first inning, Freels was obviously still working the plate, and LeGette was due up in the inning which sent shivers down my spine in light of how many homers Mazz has given up recently.
All’s well that ends well, however.
