Our weak link remains shortstop (and reliable pitching).

Unfortunately, or shortstop didn't hold on to a terrific throw by our catcher and some runs scored. He also had a chance with the bat to make a difference and didn't.

Pitching is a bigger problem than shortstop IMO.  Can't hold a 3 run lead in the late innings?  I think we have to be able to do that to make a run at the CWS.  We won't score double digit runs every game.

*Can't hold that lead without using top relievers.
