Our biggest problem at the plate was leading the SEC in grounding into double plays to kill innings. We were top half and even top 1/3 in extra base hit categories- we hit for power. But DP's really hurt offensively
In our 12 of our 21 SEC losses, the Dawgs struck out double digit times with the average being 12 plus times.

In 2 other losses the Dogs struck out 9 times. 2/3?s of our losses were with between 9 and 13 Ks , 13 Ks happening in 8 of those 14. As you say, short of getting the actual scorebooks, no way to no how many were backward Ks. But make no mistake, thr inability to put the ball in play with RISP played a factor in at least 12 of those losses. Situational hitting is still a necessary factor in success.
