Shockers Beat the Spires
WSU Wins at Home Against St. Mary's, but Racks up the Errors
April 7, 2009 by ReginaldWayne - The Shockers had ten hits and seven runs tonight against the St. Mary's Spires tonight, winning the game 7 - 2. Josh Rosecrans posted his third three hit game of the season and Cody Lassley hit one onto 21st street to put the Shocks up 5 to 1 in the fourth. The Shockers then added three more runs before the end of the game.
While the game was handely won by WSU the underlying story I see is the number of errors.
Throwing errors in the 1st, 3rd and 9th inning all could have been turned into runs, but fortunately for the Shockers they were not. If the Shockers had been playing a better team or in a closer game, those errors could have been costly. This is the third multiple error game for the Shockers in the last four games. I hate to be the nay sayer but if WSU plans to go far this postseason they will need to sharpen their play and not make mistakes that can be costly in close situations. Their team fielding percentage for the season is a solid .968, which is on par with their past few seasons, but if they continue to have mulitple error games like this we will see that number drop. Here's to better fielding play.
