I didn't think Duke using the same starting pitcher from the first game was a good idea.  If she was overwhelmingly dominant I could see it.  But she isn't at that level and Stanford batters got to see her yesterday.

I completely agree SF. I was stunned when I saw Curd starting over Wright. And Wright wasn't even the 
first reliever off the bench, though Lillie Walker is a very good reliever for Duke. 

I think Marisa Young is a great coach, but I thought she made several mistakes in this series. Stanford, as the better team, won, but I also think Coach Allister and her staff outcoached Duke's staff, in (large) part by not overmanaging the game.
