One can imagine the defensive effort put forth in the bottom of the 9th by a team that has already been eliminated in the tournament....
Dive for that ball? I don't think so. Johnny just walked in 4 runs? Let's just leave him out there. Hustle to keep that gapper from rolling to the wall? Yeah right. |

Knows it needs to get runs / inning to .33 to make the tournament part. Ahead 9-0 going into bottom of 5. If they score a run, the game is over and runs / inning is 6/17 which is too high. So, they intentionally make an out so they can play the 6th and try to hold the other team scoreless. Heck, maybe Team B does NOT want team A in the tournament, so they intentionally give up a run. |
