SB Final: Louisiana 2, UCLA 3

Same consistent problem as last year, where’s the WCWS caliber pitchers it takes to get there?

Justin did not make the decision to pull Sam. I'm going to guess because Schorman was so good in relief the game before that he thought it would be a good move. You can make that decision. Just saying it wasn't Justin's decision.

I was surprised that Sam was pulled but I understood the thinking. It’s a decision that just didn’t work. The youth was served this weekend and we can use that as a positive moving forward. These are the coaching moments that you hope to expose early in the year when you make this schedule. Now moving forward if they do make the needed corrections we will be extremely solid for the playoffs. Would have been great to knock off UCLA but they now know they belong.

I would however be interested in more information (maybe from a host of coach's show to ask) about what steps are involved for a baseball pitcher to become a softball pitching coach

I dont know exactly what they are but i sure like how he has handled them this year. Pitch calling, pitch location…has Tony Robicheaux written all over it.

In our one win, we gave up 1 BB, 1 HBP and 1 E

In the five losses we averaged: 4 BB, 2.1 HBP and 1.6 E.

Basically giving up over a free runner per inning is difficult to overcome, in general, but against top tier competition is fatal.
