My daughter’s HS softball team lost a game in 10 innings tonight 3-2 in which they out hit the opponent 13-5.  How did that happen?  They recorded 5 outs on us at home plate.  I don’t think I’ve ever watched a baseball or softball game at any level where a team recorded 5 outs at the plate.

The most unusual of which was a bases loaded, no one out situation in the first inning when our batter hit a shallow pop to center.  The CF was charging in and no one knew if she could get to it so it put the runners in limbo. It dropped for a hit but the CF fielded it on a hop and fired it to home to get the force. How many times you see a bases loaded single that doesn’t score a run?  That was our night tonight.

Get while the gettings good,the opponents took advantage of what little opportunity they had.Perhaps your squad got a little cocky smacking the ball around seemingly at will. But that's not uncommon in sports. It was prolly 10 yrs back I watched Stanford when Shaw was HC run up/down the field on USC in the 1st half. Twice getting stuffed in goal line situations,can't leave points on the field like that.Might have been the 2014 game @ Stanford that SC won 13-10. Kind of maddening to watch if you're a Cardinal fan or just hate SC

Yesterday was our flag-football team's last game.  We've been struggling with allowing receivers go deep for long TDs.  So we spend all our time before the game practicing backpedaling then turning your hips and sprinting back while keeping your head turned towards the action.
Explained it, practiced it, it was our sole focus before the game.  Showing and explaining that as the WR closes the gap between you, you turn and go - if he can't reach you, he can't get behind you.  

We proceed to give up 5-6 long TD passes with the WR getting behind us.
I felt like I was on a hidden camera show or something.

CB is hugely difficult, but this is 8-man middle school flag football.  We've coached what to do throughout the season, but focused on that 1 damn thing before the last game where we just....I don't know.  They're not football nerds, so the Xs and Os are like an academic subject for them.

First, I'm gonna say nice play by the CF. After that, it's just a tough spot. You'd love to say half way there, but conveniently, third is gonna tag up.

What were the other 4 outs? Tough spots or some base coaching issues?

Mixed bag.  We had two situations where we tried to tag up on fly balls and were thrown out at home.  One was another great throw by the CF.  The other one was terrible base running.  The kid was hanging off the bag while the third base coach was yelling for her to get on the bag.  She waited until the RF caught it, goes back to the bag to tag up, and then takes off. Terrible.  The fourth one was just a bases loaded grounder the 3B came home with.  Not much you can do about that.

The fifth one was more bad base running.  Had a kid on second. The batter hits a grounder to SS and the SS makes a bad throw to first.  The kid on second took too big a turn at third, fell down, got herself hung up, and was eventually thrown out at home.
