“I think it’s a waste of time and I’ve got to put them back on. So. it’s annoying. But for some reason, I felt the need to take the bails off and it was like a bizarre moment where I looked at the umpire and I said, I think that’s out.” “And I think Shooter (Megan Schutt) at point was like I think that also is out.” She added that doing little issues proper enabled groups to win large tournaments.
