Two California high schools combined for a record 95 runs Tuesday when Cuyama Valley scored 13 times in the seventh inning to earn a dramatic 48-47 victory against Coast Union in a fast-pitch softball game.
The game lasted 3 1/2 hours.
That’s about the same amount of time as a typical Red Sox – Yankees game!
Some napkin math: The softball game lasted seven innings. That means there were 42 outs in the game. 95 runs were scored. There were probably about two runners left on base each half inning — 28 runners were (hypothetically) stranded in total. That’s a total of 42 + 95 +28 = 165 hitters coming to the plate during the course of the game.
Now for the Red Sox/ Yankees game: 54 Outs. Each team would have something like 8 hits and 4 walks. Between the two teams that’s 24 baserunners. 54 outs + 24 baserunners = 78 hitters.
What’s all that come out to?
The Red Sox Yankees game averages 2 minutes, 42 seconds between hitters.
The 95 run softball game averaged a hitter every 1 minute and 16 seconds.
Could you imagine going to a game and seeing 165 plate appearances lasting one minute each?
Sounds like ping-pong.

I am not really sure how “dramatic” a 48-47 softball game could be. I think it would be dramatic if there was an inning that no one scored. You put up that many runs in a game and you just expect it to be, last team up should win.
