Game is a BLOW-OUT

In 5 years it's never happened. (If he/she did say that my response would be, "You're right Coach, what we all want is for them to develop good sportsmanship"). I ask when the game is out of hand. The coaches don't want 10 walks an inning either. And when they do agree there are two different strike zones. The team that's way ahead knows to swing at any pitch thats close (I remind each batter as they step into the box). The team that's behind continues to see the same strike zone they've seen all game.

Just a suggestion but it's worked well for me.
