3.5 hour slugfest

[RingEmUp]

I was originally supposed to have been on the bases but my partner got caught up in real job stuff and was running late so I took the plate.  Both pitchers were throwing strikes, not many walks but the bats were out in force.  Final score was 27-11 home team but at one point it was 11-11.  We had just about every conceivable situation you can think of.  Bottom 6th the pitcher is up to bat with two outs and I told him we have a blowout strike zone and he obliged by swinging at anything close and missing.  1-2-3 in the 7th and it was finally over.  I had the home team the day before but I had been on the bases.  The F1 to close out the game had been playing F3 the day before so I knew already I could let him know what was up when he came up to bat.  The 3.5 hours was punishment for bragging about the 1.5 hour game the day before too, that finished 1-0.  Great defensive game followed by a slugfest and poor defense.
