On a related note (pun intended).

Years ago, I umpired a H.S. jr. varsity softball game involving two Toledo, Ohio, high schools (one Catholic and one public), in which the public school was mercied (I think that is how that verb's past tense is spelled). I will not name the public school in order to protect the guilty or innocent, but the public H.S. was the home team and their softball diamond was behind the parking lot which was behind the school.

After the game I was at my gear getting out of my plate gear when three members of the home team walked by. One of them was holding a baby about 18 months old. I told the girl holding the baby that I thought it was great that her little sister came to watch her play. The three of them started laughing very hard. The baby was not the player's little sister but her daughter, .
