Not sure why you say everybody outshot Efren and why you use the word "needed." For example, Efren ran 8-and-outs 6 times (includes once in the playoff). His opponents scores in those games were 1, 0, 4, 0, 0, and (-1). So Efren might still have won those games had there been more innings, but, instead, he ran them out in that one visit.

Post #2 is just the number of times they had runs of each length from 1 to 9. Perhaps you misunderstood it as something else.

In the round-robin matches, Efren played 26 games and he had runs of 5 or more 14 times. Van Boening was next with 13, Jones 6, Chohan 10, Smith 7, Pagulayan 10. Efren ran balls pretty well!
