I've already said this was a great win and I'll stick with that, but there are a few things that jump out of the boxscore that still leave me wondering if this team has a chance to turn things around. In no particular order:
Only 9 of the 14 runs we gave up were earned. Still too many costly mistakes on defense. 9 strikeouts. Just makes it too easy on opponent's defense when all they really have to record is 2 outs per inning. Gave up 16 hits. Enough said.
On the other hand, we only left 3 runners on base. Much improved! Our pitchers only had 2 walks, no HBP, and 1 WP. That's an improvement too.
All in all, we are showing signs. Some good, some not. I'm still hopeful. Let's get 3 from Iowa!
