Does Pikeville coaching staff use a strict pitch count maximum.
IF so, was the starter at or above that count.
Not going to second guess Pikeville Coach, he knows his team.
It still comes down to pitchers throwing strikes, and yeah it is tougher to do when you come in cold but all the pitchers that were brought in had been in the game from the start.
Yes it's a loss but it's not the end of the season...I am sure they will learn from what happened.
