I doubt it. My DD and I met Gary and Catherine Osterman about ten years ago at a summer tournament. (This was long before she became "Cat.") Gary and I exchanged aperiodic e-mails over the years. When Cat was a HS freshman, the rest of her team was quite weak. At one point in the season she was averaging more than 3 K's per inning.

Wow! That's efficient pitching! (Especially considering that there are only 3 outs per inning pitched

I'm lurking from the basketball side. How can you have/ avg. more than 3K's per inning?

Dropped 3rd strike with the batter advancing to 1st. Credit the K, charge the catcher with an error.

Don't charge an error to the catcher. There are specifications about this type of a misplay that clarify that it is not an error due to the frequency that pitcher and catcher handle the ball, and it should be scored as a passed ball or wild pitch not an error.

That's why I just umpire and not keep score . Must be another one of those myths. Isn't a PB an error on the catcher? Honest question, I always thought it was/is.

I guess you are correct, it could be a WP too. Seen many batters swing at a pitch with 2 strikes that sails to the backstop.

Speaking ASA.

Based on 11.6.A, a passed ball and wild pitch could be scored an error if it prolongs the batter's "at bat" or the life of a present runner.

The terms "passed ball" and "wild pitch" are only addressed in rule 11 as it pertains to the format of the scorer's game summary.

I am assuming there are additional definitions and scoring rulings at another location in ASA's statistical documentation.

Not quite the same anomaly, but we had a lady on a co-ed team hit for the cycle in one inning. Single, double, home-run, double and triple all in the second inning. They only played two innings that night, but boy was it a long game.

If anyone thinks it is a record, they haven't watched very many low-level JV games
