It was about the opportunities. Close calls are part of softball, and some aren't going to go your way. But playing cleaner, executing the little things, and taking advantage of opportunities throughout the game can create enough separation that those calls don't determine the outcome. That's the difference between being good enough to compete and learning how to consistently win close games. A tough loss, but an important lesson as the Hurricanes head into the elimination bracket.
