At this point, donāt you keep this guy on the mound and let him take a beating? That sounds brutal but you aināt coming back in this one, so you might as well save as many quality arms as possible for game 2.
Absolutely stupid and incorrect call regarding what I consider to be an even stupider rule; that was ball four and UConn got screwed. Further, why should the batter even have to make an effort to avoid being hit by a pitch? I'm not in favor of leaning into a pitch, but it should be the pitcher's fault if you remain still and he hits you in the box.
