Had this come up a few months ago, sort of the opposite of everyone elses. The visiting team is a lot better than the home team. Going into the bottom of the 5th, score is 11-1, visiting team ahead. There is a 10 run slaughter rule, so as long as the home team dosen't score, game is over. So 2 out, R3. Infield grounder, and I call BR safe at first, run scores.
Ok, top of 6th now. Score 11-2. First nine batters reach base, still no outs. Soon the 15th batter of the inning is up, still no outs. It's not like there were a lot of walks or errors, everyone was getting clean hits. Finally the 18th gets up, no outs R1 & R3, he hits a hard ground ball to F1, I'm thinking finally, someone will be out. F1 is looking to throw to first, but everyone is yelling 2. So he turns towards second, and throws in into centerfield. Eventually the 21 batter was the first man put out. Ended up having about 30 batters that half inning. It took just a little bit longer than those 3 pitch innings everyone else has.
