I've been going to Sunken Diamond since the early 80's and I have never seen balls fly out of the yard like that!   There were some towering shots bouncing off the lights.  I missed Park's error in the first, but he made a great grab to pull back a home run.   Time to get the Win today!

I presume with a 7-run lead going into the 9th, the UConn coach told his pitchers to throw strikes yesterday.  Obviously, once the tying run is at the plate, that advice is no longer applicable.   I credit the 4 HR in the 9th to Stanford's being way behind, but of course, the batters have to be capable of launching it.

In today's game, we saw Matthews fail to throw a strike when he should have in the 9th.  In that case, a walk is almost as good as a HR for the opponents.  It didn't burn him today, but I hope he learns from his mistake.   Or is it his mistake?  Who calls the pitches?   Yesterday, they showed the UConn bench using a (one way) walkie-talkie to the catcher.  A 2021-2022 rule.

I missed the first half of the game today.  I take it there were no questionable calls on base running (successful or not).
