Worst double-header in history!

[seioaump]

Had a Varsity DH this past Saturday, started at 10 AM...

Final Score Of Game One: 17-8

Final Score Of Game Two: 19-13

Didn't find out what time it was at any point in either game, just knew it was a LONG afternoon. When we got in our car to leave after the game it was 5:00. Seven Hours - $90

Not to mention an hour drive each way...

Won't go there anymore...

I did a Freshman boys double a few years back. First game was ok, I think 10-8. I had plate the second game, temp was about 94 degrees. Home team lost 27-2 in three innings. Home team coach came out to me after the third and said "that's it, we're done, they win." Fine with me. I think the home team issued 14 walks and the coach was complaining about it the entire game, which by the way took 2 hours and 10 minutes to play the three innings. The visiting team didn't issue a single walk. I was more than willing to stretch the strike zone, the visiting coach even asked me to but the home team pitchers weren't even coming within a couple of feet of the zone. Two games, about 4 1/2 hours, fee of $45. Part of the reason I got out of umpiring.
