NFHS - It was kind of a funny afternoon anyway. My assignor asked me to work the bases of a baseball game... A first for me.
The only thing that appeared to move quickly was the ball. And only when someone wasn't holding it... I should have brought a book.
Anyway I had a softball game right after and I was really looking forward to it..... These 2 teams would have been better off seeing each other in a Mall or maybe Cabela's.
1st inning... 18 to zip. 2nd inning started 10 pitches after Team B came to bat. 7 of them non-swinging strikes.
One of the best pitches I saw all evening from Team B came on it's 2nd bounce.
As the 2nd inning began, I discretely told the Team A coach I was going to open up my strike zone. But they turned it into a joke. All sorts of comments started flying. I couldn't believe it... So I called time and went over and had my own talk with Team A.
Thank goodness the ball park lights didn't come on and we were able to call the game due to darkness.....
How creative do you all get when you get a lop-sided match-up?
