We were up 1-0 after the top of the first though, too bad a thunderstorm didn't hit then. Just an awful game, our team was terrible to begin with, Parkway's field had very, very long grass (they loved bunting for base hits), and they were still stealing bases and bunting for the occasional base hit while up by 30 in the later innings...
Biggest win was probably something like 12-5. We were bad most of the years I played, and any win at all was rare.
It was a diff coach then when were faced them like that, but as a coach one year the ACME coach at parkway told me, the coach of the other team, TWICE, that he was going to run the score up on us, and that it wasnt personal. Second time he told me was at homeplate after the meeting with the umps. (one of the umps heard it and asked after the game if he had heard right) He apparently HATED the spring coach.
BUt...we beat them.....I intentionally walked their best hitter 5 times in the game including with the tieing runner at first base and it knocked them out of the tournament and ended their season.
but I digress......
In the 20-60 football loss we had them fourth and goal...at the 40. And they scored.
