Had Four Outs last night

Co-ed, slow pitch. It's important to note that, due to a time limit, this league has a "last batter" rule, where you cannot bat more than once in an inning. (We forego this rule in the tournament.)

One out, R2 on second, R1 on first. B1 hits a fly ball to the outfield, which was caught easily for the second out. R1 and R2 were off with the hit (bad advice to "just go" on "last batter"). R2 scored, and R1 was gunned down near the plate for the third out. I waited (I'm the BU), and one outfielder was smart enough to ask his catcher for the ball and step on second for the fourth out.

It took me ten years (about 50-60 games per year) to see four outs. Let's see if it takes another ten.
