Some teams ride one pitcher during the regular season.
I've seen this at Texas (Ostermann) and Tennessee;
currently Nebraska (Bahl).
But during the the tournament, the best the best results
occur when there are at least two exceptional pitchers,
especially in the World Series, if a team goes into the
losers bracket.
Bruins won a Naional Champuionship with Garcia, when
she had mound help, and lost when the Bruins ultimately
had to use her over and over.
usc has now seen two of our pitchers; neither overwhelmed
them ...I think only one strike out so far.
