High school baseball game ends in 65-0 'travesty'

Jeff Boyer has been a baseball coach at Licking Heights High School in Pataskala, Ohio, for 34 years, and he's never seen anything like it.

Boyer's Hornets beat Harvest Prep 65-0 on April 5 in a game called in the third inning. Licking Heights scored 16 runs in the first, 18 in the second and 31 in the third.

The numbers are predictably off the charts. Licking Heights had 48 hits, but the team also drew 13 walks and had 11 hit batters against a Harvest Prep team composed of mostly freshmen and sophomores.

"It's the most awkward I've ever felt in 34 years of coaching," Boyer said. "I didn't know what to feel. I wasn't happy. I felt bad for their kids and didn't know what to tell our kids."

Boyer told Sporting News the game took more than three hours and finally was called because of darkness. The Ohio High School Athletic Association calls for a 10-run mercy rule after five innings. Boyer wishes the game would've been called much sooner.

"We didn't run on passed balls; we didn't take extra bases or any of those kinds of things," Boyer said. "I even asked the umpire, 'What do you want us to do?'

"I asked if he wanted us to bunt and step on the plate, and he said he didn't want it to be a travesty of a game. And I'm thinking, 'We're already there.' "

The teams play again April 22, and Boyer said that issue will be addressed. Fortunately, there does not appear to be any ill will between the schools.

"I'm going to talk to the coach before the game," he said. "They've been run ruled in every game. We just happened to be the first to do it. I had no idea it was going to get that high, and we'll make sure it doesn't get that high again."

I coached a girls softball team and we were beating a team 32-0 and I gave the girls instructions not to steal, no extra bases, batting from the opposite side of plate and playing different positions. The opposing coach became outraged and pulled his team off the field and told me that I embarrased his team by doing all this to his team. He also told me if we were going to beat him just play normal. We played again later and we did just what he wanted, he pulled his team off the field and then berated me for running up the score. So, what do you do?
