That's where my "timely hitting" answer comes into play! And when you look back at losing very close late inning games, more times than not it's the team that blinks first with an error! On the flip side, it's the team that wins with that timely hit with runners in scoring position!when we lose a close game to an equal or better opponent, it has usually been we needed a few more hits, especially situations like runners on 2nd and/or 3rd and don't score.
*****There's hits, then there's timely hits! So, is everyone up to speed on this timely hits thing? I got to assist on a 16U team several years back with a college coach, that was the one thing he would pound into the girl's heads when doing situational hitting at practice.
