FYI it was a hit and run but Wilson missed. Also I thought Thompson showed potential just needs to learn how to finish innings. In the first I think with two outs both of the infield balls should have been outs, then the ump squeezed him until he had to groove one which resulted in a dbl and two unearned runs. In the second he got squeezed again when he walked the bases full after two outs. Two of the three were full count walks and then the second hard hit ball. Huge upside on Thompson imo, and the bullpen gave up one run in six innings of work.
Looks like the lineup change was a good idea when our best hitter came up with the bases loaded in the 9th!! If you want to question Coach it would be not bunting the lefty in the second or third with 2 on and no outs and Lou put in the lefty releaver. Gotta bunt that early after the switch and playing for the big inning hurt us even if it was the three hole. I also thought using Wilson there was good strategy attempting to build confidence there as a contributor going forward.
My impression was that our offense looked better than theirs. We hit more balls hard that wound up right at them. I think we had more hits. If we had half the number of walks on full count pitches as they did the game would have been a different story. I don't remember them having anyone punched out looking and we had four or five.
All in all a good game I thought I didn't leave hoping we wouldn't be in their region or super region, so, I hope they are as good as their ranking!
