One problem with the delayed call was that it gave time for the runner from first to go to third. The second was that it made Handley mad so he tried a futile throw to third, overthrew the ball so that it skipped into the outfield, and in comes run number 2. I am guessing his error was on the throw, but dropping the ball could have been another.

Stanford was sloppy today. Officially, they committed 2 errors. I thought the official scorer could have given Stanford 2 more. One on the dropped ball at the plate. The other on Wulff who bobbled a single in RF in the 6th that allowed a USC runner on 1st to reach 3rd. This was one batter after Kinamon misplayed a sharp grounder at 2nd.

We can expect to see this type of low scoring, every-play-counts game in the NCAAs. You have to scratch and claw for every run. 4 hits and weak defense will not get it done in the tournament.
