“At that pace the pitcher would have thrown around 500 pitches in four innings,†Kawamoto’s coach was quoted as saying. “There was a danger he could get injured.â€

Wow, that sucks. 250 pitches? Who is this guy, Dice-K? (I know it isn't, I'm referencing to his H.S. game)

Why wouldn't they have thrown in the towel after like 20 runs, why 66? Were they still thinking they were in it at 65 runs?

Joe Borowski must be jealous.

I think hes furious over the attention hes not getting by this :D

What I found on the net... (all translated myself. Hope you understand what I mean. :spin: )

"Kawamoto has only two players (include the pitcher) as the official team members (play baseball regularly as a school club activity), so they asked other students to help the team entry the regional tournament."

"...when the pitcher faced 72nd batter with one down in the bottom of the second, he allowed 35 hits and 20 BB(incl. HBP) while the team made 18 errors and allowed 21 stolen bases."

"Before the tournament began, the two players and the coach made up the team with members of the other clubs, such as volleyball and school-paper publishing. The leadoff third-baseman who played baseball for a year in his elementary school is a member of Anime study club"

The pitcher said, "Since I chose the same high-school as my father, I want to play as a player of Kawamoto high. and I feel lucky to be able to entry the tournament while some schools can't. Of course I wanted to win the game but it ended up with this result... so I apologized to my coach and my parents for that I gave up so many scores."

"The year after next, Kawamoto high. will merge with another high-school. By then, they aim for a 'Miracle win'."

Well, John Miller and Joe Morgan point out in almost every game on ESPN that when innings start going for longer than normal, the fielders start getting bored - and this is a long inning by American standards - 20 or 30 pitches, maybe 2 or 3 runs scored. When your pitcher gives up 66 runs in 2+ innings, if you're in center field, wouldn't you get bored? :)
