In reply to: Either way 8+9 still equals 17 as in the number of runs posted by cbo86

Is that the kind of publicity Jack is thinking of for this program?

That HAS to be the low point of Aoki's sorry tenure. And yes, somehow even while compiling his overall record I ignored that Kelly had a year on him. So, gee....I should probably take it all back and apologize. Who could be expected to find a couple reliable starting pitchers and bullpen guys after 8 years, all while offering one of the most valuable educational experiences in all the world.

One other oversight on my part.....Jack DID release a brief comment when he re-upped Aoki for 2018 (press conference? press conference?? Bah!). He noted that South Bend is "a very tough place to play baseball".

Really Jack? I know 2 guys who didn't find it all that difficult. One of them was on your schedule this year, genius. The other has something named after him in your baseball stadium. Wonder what their thoughts would be on that comment.

That has to be a record in MLB and NCAA,,,,,and Babe Ruth,

Stan Musial, Connie Mack, Cranberry, Cape Cod, high school, YMCA, Little...oh crap every league.

The modern MLB record is 17 runs in an inning

The Red Sox did it in the 7th inning at Fenway versus the Tigers in a 23-3 win on June 18, 1953. The all-time record is 18 by the Cubs (then called the White Stockings) against the Detroit Wolverines in a 26-6 win on September 6, 1883.

In other words, most of us never had seen this in our lifetimes.

Looks like 21 is the NCAA record -we should have gone for it

"The NCAA record for most runs in any inning is 21 held by Wichita State and Pennsylvania, each coming in the sixth inning of 1984 and 1983 games, respectively."

Thanks for saving me the grim research, Sherman. *
