Actually Stanford pulled off a 1-2-5-4 double play when ahead 4-1.  I watched the game and still don’t get why it was disallowed and the batter awarded first base.  Catchers interference maybe
That was the killer.

Thanks for the context Bob. We have a very solid team that I think will be a very tough matchup in a regional (currently we would be borderline between hosting a regional and being a #2 regional seed). The pitching does need to improve on the 64 free passes (HBP + BB) in 84 innings of work. We are giving at-bats, runs, and games away with stats like that.

Exactly, we hae given up too many free trips to first and doing it with bases loaded just makes it worse.  Might as well given them something to swing at and at least make them hit it somewhere we can't catch it.
