Wild 48-47 softball score sets national record for runs in a game

A must read for all of SLAM League to remind your team never to quit--even if you're down 13 runs in the bottom of the 7th inning:

Some crazy stats from the game that ended 48-47 in only seven innings:
  • The winning pitcher gave up all 47 runs but allowed only 21 hits
  • The losing team used several pitchers who gave up 48 runs yet allowed only 10 hits (that's 95 combined runs on only 31 hits!); the losing team did walk 36 batters and hit 12 more
  • One poor batter came to the plate 9 times....and walked all nine times
  • The winning team scored 13 runs in their last at bat to win the game
  • The game ended on a bases loaded walk. Brutal.
  • Oh, and the game last 4 hours (winning team only had 9 players!)
My arm is tired just thinking about this game--those poor pitchers!
