Oddest 1/2 inning ever!!!

[catdad]

Went to DD high school game the other night and it started in the oddest 1/2 inning I have ever seen.

Batter 1 flies out to center field for first out.
Batters 2-9 all reach base safely.
Batter 1 pops out to F3 in foul territory for out number two.
Batters 2-9 all reach base safely, with #4 and #9 batters going yard.
Batter 1 bunts this time but runs into the ball out of the box for out number three.

Batter 1 gets all three outs in the inning and batters 2-9 all score two runs each! Wonder what the odds are of this happening again?

Anybody else seeing odd innings or plays in high school ball?

That is amazing but why the heck would batter 1 try to bunt up by 16 runs?

Because Batter #1 is having problems hitting anything but popups and her coach/dad/big brother/little sister/grandmother/dog suggested to her that she bunt to help her focus on the ball better.

A Batter #1 lives in my house too - she hasnt done what the OP described, but it is very very possible.

Coach probably did'nt want her to fly out again after the good natured ribbing from her team mates. She's a good player and bunts often in all kinds of situations.

i know in my slow pitch games, if someone makes the first and third out in an inning (or strikes out), not only are they buying beer after the game for everyone else, it's called a "sandwich"...so i guess that would be an "out sandwich"?

Oddest 1/2 inning of all time occured while having a practice game with Arto in HB. (See post: WHat was it w/ pics) I think that is what it was called. No one can top the Shim Classic.

Why is she batting lead off if she is struggling so bad?

Maybe a way to avoid the double play atleast in the top of the first inning and as long as 9 keeps cleaning the plate each afterwords.
