It doesn't matter how many control points you have set if you have parallax distortion between the 2 images. I've had images with 80 control points between them and it still can't stitch them successfully because the control points don't makes sense because of the distortion.

You said I could rotate it in hugin? How does one do that?

In the preview, go to the MOve/Drag tab and drag the image with the right mouse button and it will rotate.

    I'd say that still fits with my answer.  If you have one image
    that it can't align it will be sitting on the preview in it's
    default orientation.

    I don't know if this is the problem but:
    All of the pictures were taken in portrait orientation. In the
    control point tab all of the images except one are in a landscape
    orientation. The one image that is in that orientation is the
    last image in that series and it is the image that is stretched.
    Does that have any bearing in this problem?

        Double check that you do indeed have control points between
        every single image.  It sounds like you might have a single
        image that isn't connected in any way, or maybe only
        partially connected and when it stitches it end up placed on
        top of all your other images.  The preview is just an OpenGL
        preview of what you can expect to get but it works
        differently than the final stitch so you can often times get
        different results if your control points aren't all perfect.

        You can check your layout tab in the fast panorama preview
        (the GL preview button) and play with the scale.  The layout
        tab will quickly show you how your images are connected
        together and how well.  If you have any images that are just
floating out there with no lines then that's your culprit. You will also want to look for images with very thin lines
        going between the images.  Thin lines represent weak
        connections and you will need to increase the number of
        control points between your images.

        There is also a high probability, since you said you hand
        held the camera when you took the pictures that even though
        you picked matching spots in the image that there is no way
        for the program to warp the images  correctly due to parallax
        distortion.  If your images are of the inside of a room,
        that's almost certainly the case.

        Finding the no parallax point:

        You will have to get one of these and it will have to be
        precisely setup correctly for your camera if you are going to
        take pictures indoors.  There is just no other way to do it:

        There are a lot more out there, but these 3 are some of the
        most affordable ones. I've got 2 of them; one made by
        Manfrotto that cost a lot of money and is built like a tank
        and I think it might weigh as much as a tank as well.  I've
        also got a Nodal Ninja that I really like that weighs a lot
        less, which is why I got it, and does an equally good job for
        a fraction of the money.

        2. That was fine but when I stitch it all together the
        picture on the ball seems fine but the resultin panorama
        image is one of the five photos of the panorama stretched
        out. Any ideas how to fix this?
