Only once were the Stars in danger of losing, scoring three runs in the ninth inning to edge the Colorado Cyclones 3-2 in the first game of pool play. After that, the Stars used big innings in various forms to take control. While the hitting developed slowly, the Stars drew a Modern Wood Era 50 walks that allowed their hits to do damage. The pitching staff allowed just seven earned runs for an ERA of 1.29, striking out 49 batters to eight walks and yielding an opponent batting average of .192. Eight of the 14 pitchers worked three or more innings to share the load.
