The other argument that can be made is that team was playing only their second DH of the season due to weather conditions this year and the pitcher needs some game experience as well.
I can say this coach was not trying to run up the score and was actually disappointed when an opposing player dropped what would have been a very nice inning ending catch during the second game. We thought she had the catch and at the last second it bounced out of the glove (she was the injured pitcher from game one, which was referenced elsewhere).
