Yes, offense wins games. But, if you cant at least occasionally stop a ball and get an out, what good does it do to give up just as many runs to the opposition?

Age of players?
Did the coaches care? Meaning, what was the goal of the tournament? It is the end of October. Maybe they were working on offense and didn't really care about defense. Who knows?
Or, maybe they were just lousy ball players.
