In the game you refer to, Loving did not have his best outing but I'm not sure that BC gave the game away. What a good team does is put the ball in play and put the pressure on the defense to make the plays. Get guys on base that can disrupt things. Use smallball, hit and run, etc to force mistakes and that what Hallet did. And BC fell apart. I would not say BC gave the game away. I'd say Flora took the game from them.
BC was not supposed to do a lot this year and they somewhat exceeded expectations. Good for them. With all due respect to BC, if they would have pulled that first game out they never would have made it past Flora anyway. The same as Fort Mill, a vastly superior team to BC this year did not.
Flora was #1 preseason and ended up #1 post season and there was little doubt by most that the outcome would not be what it was.
