Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Closed the door

    Paper took the anchor 2-1 — clutch in the closer's seat.

  • 2-for-2 on the hill

    Paper and Vander both closed out hill-hill races. Cool under pressure.

What to clean up
  • Slow out of the gate

    Dropped the lead-off 2-2 — playing from behind all night is harder than it needs to be.

  • Conceded a sweep

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

  • Lost the heart-rate test

    Reinaldo dropped a hill-hill 2-3. One ball away — sharpen the close.

  • 2 losses to lower SLs

    Felipe and Jaime both lost to lower-skilled opponents. Respect the handicap chart, then run the table.

Key moments

  1. R1Lead-off goes to Nick Mainello 2-2. Jaime swims upstream from here.
  2. R5Anchor delivers — Paper 2-1. Books closed at 2-3.

Next up10-13 loss, but closed the door is something to build on. Fix one thing, not five.
