I can say this coach was not trying to run up the score and was actually disappointed when an opposing player dropped what would have been a very nice inning ending catch during the second game. We thought she had the catch and at the last second it bounced out of the glove (she was the injured pitcher from game one, which was referenced elsewhere).
Hogwash. Why would he toss a good pitcher against this team? Why would he not have his girls leaving early on EVERY first pitch they could once they reached base? Why would he not play "station to station"? Why would he not have his girls bunt or swing at whatever they could?

There are plenty of ways to not have a 43-0 score. That's disgusting. And he should be ashamed.
