Praying for close games

[chapmaja]

What is the most lopsided pair of games you have ever umpired in a DH.

My two JV DH's this week were a combined 36-6 and 43-0. That's 79-6 total for two games. It was so bad, the 43-0 DH had the winning team intentionally leaving base early to get called out. They were drawing base on balls and the coaches told them to keep running until they were tagged out (Sadly, on one such play the batter-runner actually came all the way around to score).

At least in the 36-6 DH, the team scored a few runs during the game and actually got a chance to score. The pitcher for the team that won 43-0 threw a perfect game in game 2, and allowed 1 base hit in game 1).

In 6 games this season, only 1 of them was not a mercy, and that was a 9 run win. The other 5 games so far have been mercy rule games, with 4 being 15 after 3 innings.
