Ouch. Just a bad outing or is Fordham a solid team?

Bad outing, I think. Fordham finished 105 in the RPI last year and were picked to finish 3rd in the A-10 this year.

The runs in the 5th were due to a couple of mental breakdowns - after a leadoff walk, we tried to get the lead runner on a bunt and failed, then Dumezich didn't cover first on the next bunt (according to the post game interview). We struck out 15 times.

One recurring problem - Rhi's struggling with the long ball (6 HRs in 145 ABs after today, so about 1 every 24 ABs). That's not due to 1 bad outing, as she's given up at least 1 HR in 5 of her 7 starts.
