Other Crap

"Softball coach Monte Sherrill was suspended by the school for two games after his team, which is ranked fourth in the nation by USA Today, beat West Charlotte, 55-0, in just two innings".

• A few years back, I was coaching a woman's softball team in a tournament game with a 60 minute time limit. If time runs out with the visiting team batting, they get to finish their half inning. If they are then ahead, the home team gets to bat once more as well. Our team batted first in one game, batted around for more than an hour, sent about 50 women to the plate, scored forty something runs. Since time was already up, the other team was entitled to one inning to try to match us, but they refused to take their at bats and called us poor sports. Which means we won a game in which the other team never batted at all! Of course, we didn't consider any lead safe since this was slo-pitch softball, in which twenty run innings are not rare, and 100 run games are possible. There was once a 50-12 world series game in the American Professional Slow Pitch League.
