Three errors and four unintentional walks for both teams combined sounds like fairly standard HS baseball. Not sterling, but hardly poorly played. No pitching changes probably contributed most to the quick pace.

Also it helps when a lot of at bats were hit in the infield and were routine or mostly routine plays.
I also think the new bats made a huge difference as hits that would have normally been trouble, fell right into a fielder's glove.
It was certainly a fun and high drama game but very quick. Bob called strikes and that helped too of course. Lesson to those that have long games. Call strikes and the batters will swing.
