WE pinch ran for the catcher 2 times during game. after 2nd time, she could not re-enter. the other catcher was used as a pinch hitter earlier, thus she was out of game. Only option left, was to move 2B to catcher.(she caught some in Jr. college last year). Passed balls and wild pitches have been a problem all season.
Our pitching had been good until today. I don't know what happened, other than SH apparently made some adjustments at the plate. It seems we always have trouble in Sunday games, after winning on Friday and Saturday against weak teams. I seem to recall same thing happening at FIU earlier in season.
Despite pitching and defense, our biggest problem is lack of timely hitting. We were 4-26 with runners in scoring position the last 2 games. Most every out seems to be made with a weak grounder or pop up, to opposite field. Teams are pitching us outside and we're not making adjustments at the plate.
As for why Escobar isn't pitching , that's the biggest mystery in college softball.
