....................in ONE game.  WOW!  Had the plate last night for a Varsity game. It seemed as though we had almost every call imaginable. 2 Balks, partner had 2 or 3 Safe....OFF THE BAG, check swing appeals, several bangers at each base, I had a RLI , Dead ball strike**,  injured F9 running into fence, injured catcher (thumb), injured BR (ankle at 1B), wind blowing out at about 20 mph on an all dirt DRY infield, 1 restricted HC.  Well, that's all I can think of at the moment.  I'm just glad the HT didn't use their ambidextrous pitcher (yes, they have one).

9-7 after 2 innings. Both teams were hitting holes/gaps.  Final score after 3:15  VT-14....HT-11

OH what I would give for a 1-0 game in 1:30 - 1:45.

 

**Bottom 6, HT down by 2, bases loaded, 2-2 count, batters hands in the strike zone and WHAMMY!  80 y/o HC unaware of what a dead ball strike was.

3:15!!! Yikes!!

You used the whole rule book - should be some kind of award for that!

I feel for you.  We had just the opposite in last weeks regional game.  Three man crew and we had absolutely nothing, not one banger, no errors, a few caught stealing which were obvious, a few routine fly balls, partner behind the dish had both pitchers throwing strikes.  The game ended 2-1 in 1:38. Literally, it was the easiest game all year.
