Turning point in the game was when a freshman pinch runner that wouldn’t take a proper lead and is either really slow or wasn’t hustling was thrown out at the plate on a ball that was hit deep into the corner. Absolutely no reason we shouldn’t have scored there.
Reminder of last year’s team last night. Runners in position, but couldn’t score. 4th or 5th we get a leadoff triple from Julks and he’s thrown out at home and then load the bases with one out and two straight Ks.
It’s early, it’s a mid week game, but it’s a bit of a concern.
