Thanks for the responses. This was my kiddo's first varsity game and when I saw the online stats (that everyone in this area looks at) I was a little stunned at the 7.0 ERA. That's more than twice the number of runs the other team scored! I realized the formula for calculating ERA but it seems like pitchers almost get punished for run-ruled games (or for getting taken out for whatever reason) -- we only played 3 innings, she pitched 2, but is calculated like we played 7. I wish they published WHIPs instead. First game was 1.5, second 1.83. Much easier to digest than 7.00.
