ML, am I reading this correctly? Mads Lawson has thrown every single pitch for Columbia across three games in the ILT? Can that be right?

I know that the underhand softball pitching motion does not strain the shoulder, elbow and forearm like the overhand baseball throwing motion. Softball teams do not rotate starters as routinely as baseball teams.

But can one pitcher literally take a softball team through four games of an Ivy tournament? Is that physically possible? This is superhero kind of stuff. Meanwhile, major league baseball announcers want to throw a parade if a starter can go five complete innings.

Is it just me, or are modern major league starters p--sies? They are the most coddled athletes in professional sports. Nobody else does less and makes more.

And as joisey points out, Columbia needs to beat Princeton twice today, which would mean a fifth game.
