It is a coin flip if the coaches do not agree on the weekend's format. Playing 1 game is not so much a matter of having enough pitching....as much as it is an educated guess that "your" #2 and #3 can beat "my" #2 and #3 (if I'm the coach that wants a single game). It's about pitching depth.
East had 4 pitchers with enough innings to be ready for a 3-game series -- and 2 additional relievers. In the case of our series with Rockwall, we lost in 2. For us, it was more about timely hitting than pitching. Sometimes, you have to get to the 3rd game to take advantage of your depth.
