Did anyone see the Northwestern V Iowa Double-Header yesterday on TV?
THe pitcher for Northwestern, Lauren Delaney allowed 16 walks in the 9 inning game and they still came out on top with a score of 6-5.
She also allowed 6 more walks in the second game but they clobbered Iowa 16-5.
You could see the frustration in the catcher for NW during much of the game as Delaney worked from behind in the count on almost every batter she faced. I was getting frustrated with her and I was just watching on TV!!
I can't remember what the final ball strike ratio was but it was something like 120-some balls to 80-ish strikes.
I can't say that I've ever seen a televised College game that had 16 walks allowed by one pitcher.
It's a good thing those Northwestern girls can hit!
