I agree!!!
But there is a way to lose with class. Gunshy: You and I will just have to agree to disagree on this point. To each his own. I respect that.
Was anyone actually at this game that can give some insight as to what happened.....?

Kinda. Get better or get used to losing. Not all opposing teams will run the score up that high, but some will. Better to look 'within' rather than piss and moan about that other mean team.
I think, that I shall try to do the utmost to be new today

Look I get that, I don't think the OP was a parent/player/fan. I've gone into games where I know I'm outmatched to begin with. I've gone into games where I know I have my opponent outmatched. Here's the deal, win and lose with some class. 31-0 doesn't HAVE to happen.

Some pretty harsh criticisim from some folks who I dont think were at the game. Number one, HSE and Westfield are in the Hoosier Crossroads Conference together so ducking a conference foe as has been hinted at isnt a possibility here. Hse coach pulled his starters after the first inning, with the exception of the shortstop, no one else left on the bench to replace her. The second string and a couple of JV girls played the remaining 4 innings. I would agree that stepping off base is a good strategy to employ in a game like this, I think thats why the coach had players do it 4 times for sure, maybe 5, cant remember exactly. Also no stolen bases, no advancing on over throws, passed balls, wild pithes, etc... While the score is ugly where do you balance getting some younger girls who have worked just as hard as every one else and havent played hardly at all some varsity playing time and at bats with trying to be a good sport. The score was ugly but running up the score, being unsportsmanlike, is arguable.

It was 31-0!!! How is that "Varsity" playing time! They would have been better off playing most J.V teams! Looks like HSE is taking over for New Pal!
By the way, welcome to the board!!!
