Starter got them to the 8th, didn't have anyone left with the stones to finish it. Why I will always fall on the side of having an elite closer, even if that's one of your three best arms. Can't run out the clock in baseball.
Really tough to find in baseball let alone college baseball. I always figure especially in college and see it a lot in the minors that if the home team is down 1 or tied going into the 9th seems above 50% chance of coming back and winning. Just a lot of pressure for inexperienced arms.
