Small ball helps George Mason score NCAA-record 23 runs in one inning vs. Holy Cross, a breakdown

need after this inning if you're this

fan and you want to sit through the rest

of the game ready here we go come on

it's the second inning cleanup hitter is

up for George Mason and he's going to

lay down a bunt foul you're the cleanup

Pitter

dog hit big no George Mason they buned a

lot guess what out the first batter got

out you're telling me they scored 23

runs in an inning and the first batter

got out on a bunt gave himself up

basically all right next batter 2 that's

a strike two and one another strike one

strike away from getting an out that's a

ball out now watch this km no an excuse

use me check swing and oh [ __ ] I don't

want to get out foul ball to stay alive

and then walks on the next pitch so

close to having two outs first two

batters trying to bunt again what strike

okay and now they get really preoccupied

with the runner on first there's one out

you got a double playing order you want

to keep the double playing order you

don't want them to steal but you're kind

of focusing on the wrong things 3-1

count catcher goes out he says hey man

just put it in play just let him put it

in play we'll turn two we got you what's

the worst that can happen they score 23

runs don't think so 3-1 Ball Four would

have thrown him out would have been out

but it was ball four so now you've got

Runners on first and second and ball one

and now the coach goes out and he's like

hey man just throw strikes you got a

good defense behind you we got an out at

any base a force out at third a force

out at second a force out at first just

let him put it in play come on now

oh no pass ball and there go the force

outs runner on second and third now

first base is open 20 count ball three

and then ball no that was a strike

thanks blue and same pitch smart go back

to it so Full Count can he get out

number two it's a Baltimore chop to no

man's land no play and the first run of

the game scores George Mason takes a

one- nothing lead Runners on the corner

fake bunt puts it in play it hits the

pitcher in the foot and then the ass and

he can't handle it that stinks that

stinks a little bit of like a slash bunt

what are we doing George Mason is that

your game I respect it it's working

hopefully you don't keep doing it when

you're up 19 another bunt we're showing

bunt psyche we're getting hit by

pitch

dang now bases are loaded and up comes

number 16 I think but first coach comes

out and says Ah you know what

man we'll get you out of this don't

worry we'll stop the bleeding we're

going to bring in number 28 he's going

to get the job done we go to the righty

yellow pants is in the crowd enjoying

the game that's inside for ball

one strike umpire likes that outside

with the righty batters up strike two

all right here it comes the reliever oh

went for a slider away that no one ever

liked at all so we got a 2-2 pitch and

that's a nice hit that's the first solid

hit a double I think it's a bases

clearing double three-run score the

first pitcher was told there were going

to clean up his mess they didn't and now

we're back to bunting runner on second

one out lays down a beautiful bunt safe

the George Mason

bunters we're on on the corner again one

out they steal second they throw to

Second and the runner scores home I

don't know if they're just chasing outs

there if that's what they're saying

they're going to do but do you want to

eat that ball next batter comes up and

he gets hit right in the hip or the

waist hit by pitch and now they've

batted around so now the guy who started

the inning and bunt it and got out

number two is up his second at bat of

the inning gets hit by a pitch bomber

backto back hit hit by pitches base is

loaded one out we got another ball in

play pitcher Fields it goes home throws

it away catcher looks sees the runners

going a second holds the runner at third

throws it to Second terrible throw

obviously the runner wasn't actually

going to stay at third Bas is clearing

fielders Choice error that's the really

the biggest botch play by Holy Cross in

this one just botched all around next

batter first pitch he hits it right back

to the pitcher and then it skirts away

from the short stop and the runner on

second is going to score and now it's 10

runs and it has unraveled fast and two

pitchers have been hit with comebackers

you got bunts you got that slider away

that no one's interested in ball one

ball two ball three ball four so they

say you know what hey tough luck that

error hurt you we're going to bring 26

in he's going to get us out of this we

got a lot of innings left ball one ball

two ball three ball four and hit by

pitch take your base oh [ __ ] ball one

ball two ball three ball four another

run scores ball one ball two ball three

ball four another run scores hey you

know what you weren't the right guy for

the job that's on me not on you get out

of here we're going to this kid number

36 second Pitch of the at bat outside

drives it to left and that is going to

score one going to score two I think it

clears the bases again and that is a

nice three RBI double okay number 10's

up curveball on the outside nice inside

there's stealing you're up 15 you're

stealing third you're up 15 and then a

little pass ball it scoots away you

going to go home you're going to go home

no okay thanks for the respect

appreciate you ball in play and that's

the seeing I single that's scores the

16th run because he stillo third was in

scoring position another hit by pitch

for number two number two has now bunted

out first out of the inning got hit by a

pitch and then got hit by a pitch again

so he's not having that fun of an inning

while his team is scoring 16 runs okay

number five hitter is up now and he's

going to drive that two- one pitch down

the right field line the right fielder

gets some action misses the ball has to

loop around and track it I think that's

the first time he got a ball hit to him

so he's been rather bored they have him

at three oh third baseman misses the

ball that's a Little League World Series

home

run that makes it 19 to nothing clears

the bases 3-1 pitch we're going to put

this one up in the air and that's going

to get caught by the short stop for out

number

two two down two down two down everyone

two down lets them know and let's just

get this third right let's not give him

any more freebies ball one ball two ball

three ball

[Music]

four

dang don't start the Margo round again

runner on first just get the next out

you got a 3-2 pitch here strike and he's

out he hits that past the third baseman

the left fielder gets another chance

he's going to all right they hold him to

to third but the erant throw lets the

the batter go to Second so you got

second and third o02 pitch one strike

away do it puts it in play hangs a curve

left fielder gets more action they score

another run 20th run comes across first

and third we got a ball off we got a

ball off we got a ball off we got a ball

in walk base is loaded they say you know

what you did great we're going to go to

another guy though first baseman come in

and Pitch is that the first base look

like he came from first who knows Bas is

loaded two outs ball [ __ ] Ball come on

ball no don't do it three in one pitch

Ball Four 2 first run scores he bat

flips the walk swing I'd say just swing

at that and then up comes number 10 and

that is a single up the middle that's

the first ball the center fielder has

touched all inning he's watched 21 runs

score he's watched

26 batter come to the plate hadn't been

involved in a play hadn't touched the

ball can't believe he made that play

can't believe he's not asleep Five Hour

Energy might have helped him out all

right now up comes number two remind you

he made the first out of the inning he

got hit by pitch he got hit by pitch and

now he's up again two outs Runners on

first and second and he grounds out

fielders choice to third cameraman got

bored he didn't look around so number

two the cleanup hitter he went 0 for two

with two hit by pitches in this inning

so he's not really part of the 23 run

party as much as others are and yeah so

they couldn't even fit the two on the

scoreboard zero runs for Holy Cross 23

for George Mason George Mason goes on to

win
