Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Fast start

    Pedro took the lead-off 4-1 and set the tone right out of the gate.

  • Won the heart-rate test

    Paper closed out a hill-hill 2-1. Mental game showed up.

  • Win rate that travels

    3-of-5 individual wins (60%) — keep this on the road and it's a playoff team.

What to clean up
  • Couldn't shut the door

    Anchor went down 1-2 with the team match within reach. That's the one to win.

  • Lost the lead

    Was up by 2 at the high-water mark. Bleeding a lead in the back half is fixable — usually pace or shot selection.

  • Conceded a sweep

    Felipe and Felipe got blanked — those are the matches that flip a tight night. Bench depth / pre-match feel matters.

  • Lost the heart-rate test

    Felipe dropped a hill-hill 1-2. One ball away — sharpen the close.
