that was an interesting decision by the Norse left fielder...to let the foul fly ball drop in the 7th inning with NK clinging to a 1-run lead.
early in the game...the best play is usually to catch the ball and get out #2 in the inning and let A&M tie the score on a sac fly.
in the 8th or 9th inning in a 1-run game...the best play is usually to let it drop and maintain the lead.
in the 7th inning...hmmn...it's a tough call -- especially if there are multiple runners on base...which was the situation today.
by letting the foul fly drop, the LF required his pitcher to get 4 outs in the inning. And at that point in the game and the series the Norse were essentially out of pitching
