This was a HS JV game. 3 hrs 10 min for 6 & 1/2 innings. Final score Home 23, visiting 14. Game was scheduled for two man, but ended up being one man, me on the dish. # of walks issued in the game was 3, # of strike outs was 5, # of errors - I lost count after the 1st inning.
The first inning was the doozie. Top of 1st goes three up / three down in 5 min, bottom of 1st goes 26 batters, 19 runs, bases loaded, and finally the 3rd out occurs - 55 min later.
Yes, there was a 10 run rule in effect after 4 & 1/2 or 5 innings, however, the home team let the visiting team score 11 runs over the next couple of innings, eliminating the 10 run rule at any point. Each team scores a few other runs later on to get to the final score.
Talk about a nightmare.
