I think we pitched outstanding, even with the weird strike zone. I think we played solid defense.
I think that we did very poorly on the base paths, giving a great team free outs and taking away potential runs (a double killer). And I think that we did not hit with RISP, and that includes some of our most vaunted hitters.
When you make running mistakes and don't come through with productive hitting, especially as a team that relies on scoring, you almost always lose to good teams. We had a chance as their ace was off his game. We did not take advantage of it.
