From where we were it looked like it was on line, but short - a one hopper.

In Desi's words, she "opted for the sinker."
....ummm....it looked to me like the catcher dropped the ball....after it went across the plate as a perfect strike....but I may be a bit biased!!
In any case, several people said the Tigers should have had her pitch more that night. The releif pitching situation needed help that entire series with the Mariners.
In all fairness to Carl Lewis, his "pitch" was from the mound. Desi was granted a break and they moved her quite a bit closer to home plate. But that being said, yes, her throw was much better. I don't think his went even 10 feet...hilarious.
