It's like a train wreck.
Walking in 5 runs?

And two more to help load the bases in the first place.
...and then it really got interesting.
Hate it for the pitcher.

It was like watching two blind people have a gunfight while each balancing on a tightrope over a pit of hungry alligators.
So......you leave her in and let her walk 7 hitters, walk in 5 runs, and blow a huge lead in the WCWS Super Regional? NUTS!!!

It was very bad coaching. They should have pulled her a lot sooner. She threw over 200 pitchers and was walking players like crazy. She was gassed and ineffective.
The other bad coaching blunder was the last play of the game. With 1 out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, they did not walk the next batter to set up a force play at home. The batter hits a weak ground ball to second and the winning run scores in a late tag at home. Had it been a force play she would have been out easily. Walking the batter with first base open in that situation is softball 101.

I would need to know more about the batters coming up before I criticize that one, which I do not have the energy to lookup. If you know nothing about the other team, I agree you walk the bases loaded.
