It is not unusual in womens softball for a pitcher to pitch an entire 3 game series on weekend although you would like to have others who can take up the slack. UK's pitcher had pretty much pitched every inning of every game in May. The stress on the arm and shoulder is apparently different than the overhand motion the guys use.
Traina was somewhat off last year after us winning the championship in 2012 because she did not take any time off. She pitched all of 2012 for us, then pitched the US national team for 3 or 4 months, and then went straight into our 2013 season. She did either injure or wear herself out with pitching almost 2 years straight without a break. That is why Murph has been very careful about the innings she has pitched this year using Jury and the rising star Littlejohn to spell her. Murph also didn't let her bat very much this year. Traina is playing her best ball of her career right now in the WCWS.
