How about Scotch Plains-Fanwood senior left-hander Jake Parisi? He pitched all 10 innings in Scotch Plains-Fanwwood's 12-0, 11-0 doubleheader sweep of Shabazz Wednesday. Parisi threw just 45 pitches in the first game, so he was very fresh to take to the mound in the second game, Raider coach Tom Baylock said.
Pitchers are limited to 10 innings in a four-day period, so everything was OK. But it's these types of games and results that make you wonder. Baseball and softball have this problem where schools who should be playing a junior varsity schedule shouldn't be playing one level up. The other part of this equation are schools which don't have any kind of feeder program to the high school level.
What makes this stuff even worse is when the team that is doing all the scoring has to make outs intentionally to keep the game going. This isn't the way to play and it happens quite a bit.
Any solutions out there? I saw a 34-6 score recently. I guess it won't be going away any time soon.
