Little League Minor League

Double AA Chattanooga beat Rocket City Saturday night 7-5. They did it with Rocket City not allowing a hit. There was, of course, a little league inning:

The inning consisted of five walks, including two with the bases loaded, two hit by pitches, a wild pitch, and a defensive error by the Trash Pandas center fielder, which was responsible for three of the runs.

The center fielder dropped a deep fly ball which would have ended the inning. Instead, the three runs crossed the plate, followed shortly thereafter by three more.

The way I tell the difference between an MLB game and a minor league game is the defense. Major league fielders tend to make tough plays look easy. The backhand hard shots on the infield. The glide to balls in the outfield. They hit the first baseman in the chest with throws.

I suspect this is some kind of record.
