The Numbers Game

Numbers have always been important in sports, softball is no exception. We look at numbers like runs per inning, official scoring, errors, walks, batting averages and the final score. Here are some numbers from the WHSS, AL game, on 11/3: 1,000; 62, 55, 1 and 2.
Hitting Team: Rad, Coffman, Hicks, Doerbaum, Giordano, Leversque, Burns, Rodriguez, Wells and Dampier.
Sitting Team: Pepin, Constantine, Wiltshire, Matta, DeRidder, Crowell, Pinnick, Lopez, S. Hill and Andrews.
Fielding Team: Gonzales, Keller, Toro, Quinonee, Jacobson, D’Herin, Toro, Reagen, Denny and Davis.
Let’s look deeper into those numbers listed above, they will tell the story of the game. 1,000 was the batting average for Rad, Dampier, DeRidder, Hill, Keller and Denny. 62 was the number of outs recorded in the seven inning game. Upon further examination you will notice that if there had been 63 outs recorded, the outcome of the game would have been different. 55 was the number of runs all three teams totaled. The most important number was 1. The Fielding team won the game by one run when Joe D’Herin drove in the winning run, with 2 outs on the scoreboard, in the last inning.
